Unlucky Lacay Has Been Eliminated in 39th Place (€20,000)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Roberto Spada has had an air of invincibility around him since clashing with Ruben Visser on the bubble yesterday. He is certainly one to watch and now seems to have the Poker Gods on his side as well.

Spada raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Lacay defended his big blind.

Flop: {5-Clubs} {q-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}

Lacay Checked, Spada bet 125,000, Lacay check-raised to 315,000, Spada moved all-in and Lacay called.

Lacay{5-Hearts} {6-Hearts}
Spada{k-Clubs} {k-Spades}

It was a monster pot. The turn {4-Hearts} didn't change anything but the river {4-Spades} changed everything. The paired board handing Spada a higher two pair and Lacay was a goner.

Spada ~ 2,100,000

Venneri Pays Bolzoni Off

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Antonio Venneri raised to 55,000 and Diego Bolzoni defended his big blind. The two of them saw a flop of {j-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {a-Clubs} and Bolzoni checked to Venneri who bet 50,000 and the bet was called. The turn was the {5-Spades} and both players checked. The river was the {10-Clubs} and after asking the dealer to spread the pot Bolzoni bet 150,000 into the 360,000 pot. After some time in the tank Venneri called and Bolzoni showed down {j-Spades} {10-Spades} for a full-house and Venneri mucked.

Venneri ~ 800,000
Bolzoni ~ 1,100,000

In Russia, the Bolzoni Kicks You

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Leonid Bilokur
Leonid Bilokur

Diego Bolzoni raised under the gun and it folded around to Leonid Bilokur in the big blind, who reraised - suspicious, given the shortness of his stack. Nevertheless Bolzoni went all in, Bilokur snap-called all in, and they were on their backs.

Bolzoni: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Bilokur: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Clubs}{k-Spades} bink! {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Bilokur duly busted and now has €20,000 that he did not have previously, as well as a bad beat story to tell all his friends. Bolzoni has 1.45 million.

Max Heinzelmann has doubled up again, this time with {q-}{k-} against Rocco Palumbo's pocket {7-}{7-} on a {4-}{2-}{k-}{k-}{5-} board. You've got to flip good to go deep in tournaments, and the EPT Berlin runner up is flipping better than a McDonalds employee of the month - he's back up to 750,000, while Palumbo is down to 485,000.
