Gabriele Rossi
Gabriele Rossi

Over on the outer table, Gabriele Rossi raised to 55,000 and Tom-Aksel Bedell three-bet to 155,000. Samuel Hernandez called in the big blind, as did Rossi. They headed to the {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop and Hernandez pushed all in. Rossi immediately announced that he was all in as well and Bedell folded.

Gabriele Rossi: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Samuel Hernandez: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Rossi had flopped the wheel and Hernandez shook his head when he spotted the cards of his opponent. The {9-Hearts} turn locked up the double for Rossi, and the {10-Clubs} river was a formality, Rossi doubled for 1,070,000 and took over the lead with 16 players remaining.

Over on the outer table, Cornelis de Jong was involved in a three-bet pot out of the big blind against Ricardo Pinto on the button.

One hand later, a battle of the blinds emerged between de Jong and fellow 888pokeer qualifier Laszlo-Istvan Salamon. On the {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} turn, de Jong bet and Salamon called. De Jong bet the {5-Spades} river for 55,000 and he called the raise to 155,000 by Salamon, who turned over {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.
