One player busted straight after the dinner break and Gaetano Luppina ended up at risk right after on a different table. Michael Mizrachi had raised to 13,000 and Luppina shoved the button for 34,000. In the small blind, Antoine Labat asked for a count on Mizrachi's stack, then opted to three-bet to 153,000. Mizrachi folded and said he held an ace.
Gaetano Luppina: 
Antoine Labat: 
The board came 
and Luppina doubled.
"He saved you," Mizrachi sighed.
