Alioto Forces Out Casagrande

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joining the action on the Q54 flop, Dario Alioto bet 6,000. Harry Casagrande raised it up to 26,000 on the button before Alioto went into the tank. He then repotted to 96,500 and Casagrande reluctantly folded.

Zanasi Wins Gargantuan Pot With Double Knockout

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Quan Zhou
Quan Zhou

Quan Zhou raised and Massimiliano Zanasi called before Jakub Koleckar three-bet the pot, picking up calls from both big stacks.

The Q106 flop got all of the chips into the middle with Koleckar and Zhou at risk.

Jakub Koleckar: AAKJ
Quan Zhou: 9875
Massimiliano Zanasi: QQ82

The 5 turn and 3 river runout kept Zanasi in the lead and he shot out of the chair to fist-pump celebrate. His 438,000 covered Zhou to ensure a double knockout and the Italian jumped to nearly seven figures in level nine.

Oliver Among the Big Stacks

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Oliver may be freezing with his shirt in the poker arena and already inquired about a hoodie, but didn't want to run to his hotel room at King's Resort to not miss any hand. That decision paid off for now as he raked in another pot.

On a board of QQ447, the A1074 of Oliver beat his opponent's AQJ10 and he raked in another pot.

Nylander Jams At the Wrong Time

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a board of Q9710Q, Giorgio Donzelli bet 28,000 and Mats Nylander gave it some consideration before splashing in four T-25,000 chips.

Donzelli snap-called all-in and Nylander instantly gasped an "oops" before exposing his J1075. Donzelli's Q1083 was the effective nuts and that left Nylander short.

Budka and Mevsha No More

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Krzysztof Budka had out his hopes on a suited rundown with his short stack but the JJ83 of Heiko Hinkelmann remained ahead on a board of A62A6.

One table over, Yevhen Mevsha got it in with the AK103 and he was up against Jakob Madsen, who held the AK74. Madsen was freerolling after the KJJ flop and got there with the 9 turn and 7 river.

De Michele Doubles Through Plum

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mikkel Plum was aiming to send his table neighbour Alessandro De Michele to the rail when they got it in after the 1092 flop. The Dane's KK109 had made the top two pair but De Michele was ahead with the A996 for middle set.

The 7 turn and 8 river gave De Michele a straight instead and he doubled to nearly even out both stack sizes.
