Rossi Calls Down de Jong

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Cornelis de Jong limped with the {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Gabriele Rossi checked with the {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. The {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop saw de Jong bet 105,000 and Rossi call. After the {a-Clubs} turn, de Jong bet another 125,000 with his additional flush draw and Rossi called to see the {j-Spades} on the river.

De Jong fired a third bet worth 250,000 and Rossi quickly called to further cement his chip lead with almost two times as many chips as de Jong.

Corominas Doubles Through Saha

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jai Saha raised with the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Gabriele Rossi called with {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} to see Ferran Corominas jam all in for 685,000 with the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. Saha jammed over the top and that forced out Rossi.

The {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop improved Corominas and the {j-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river changed nothing.

"Vamosss!" Corominas celebrated and jumped

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jai Saha
Jai Saha

Down to his last 570,000, Jai Saha moved all in from middle position and he was called by Ferran Corominas, who had previously doubled through the 888poker online qualifier from the UK just a few minutes ago.

Jai Saha: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Ferran Corominas: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Saha found no help on the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop and {2-Diamonds} turn, and the {a-Diamonds} river ensured that the kicker played. Saha was eliminated in 9th place and takes home €8,500.

Rossi's Bluff Works in Three-Way Pot

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Stefano Schiano opened with the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} in the hijack and Cornelis de Jong called in the small blind with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, as did Gabriele Rossi in the big blind with {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. On the {j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, de Jong led for 175,000 and picked up two callers.

The {6-Spades} followed on the turn and de Jong now made it 200,000 to go into a pot of 900,000. Rossi opted for a raise to 635,000 after some consideration and Schiano used one time bank extension and folded his overpair.

De Jong also used a time bank and carefully counted his remaining stack, used another time bank extension while Rossi kept staring at the middle of the table. De Jong shook his head, glanced over at Rossi and folded.

Henrik Ahlstroem Eliminated in 8th Place (€11,000)

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Henrik Ahlstroem

Henrik Ahlstroem jammed for the last 310,000 from early position and he was called by dominating chip leader Gabriele Rossi.

Henrik Ahlstroem: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Gabriele Rossi: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop opened up some back door opportunities, however, the {q-Spades} turn spelled the end for the Swede. A meaningless {j-Spades} appeared on the river and Ahlstroem, who had qualified for this event on 888poker, headed to the payout desk to collect €11,000 for his efforts.
