Julian Menhardt: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Joaquim Badosa Palau: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Benitez and Baltateanu Bow Out

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Amado Martin Benitez limp-called a raise by accident and ended up getting his 20,000 in with {8-Spades}{7-Clubs} on the 8d8h5cJd] turn. Big stack Andrea Salamone snap-called with {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} for the top full house and the {7-Diamonds} river brought no miracle one outer.

Soon after, Silviu Baltateanu was eliminated when Casey Kastle turned two pair with {9-Spades}{2-Spades} and the Romanian stormed off with a "nice call." The same table also features 2017 champion Luigi Shehadeh, who has since dropped below the starting stack.

The Re-Entries Keep on Coming

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Claudio Di Giacomo
Claudio Di Giacomo

Adrian Costin Constantin had some 50,000 not long ago, but just entered the tournament area with a fresh ticket in his hand. On the former table of the defending champion, Claudio Di Giacomo was sitting on healthy 90,000 and the Italian was also a recent re-entry.

Di Giacomo three-bet to 4,300 shortly after and was called one way. On a {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} turn, Di Giacomo bet 3,000 and picked up a call. After the {7-Diamonds} river, he then check-called 6,600 and won the pot with {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} versus {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} to boost the stack further.

Antonin Teisseire lost a flip with sevens on the feature table that kicked off after the previous break and he also jumped right back for the third bullet in the tournament.

De Marco Vanishes in a Flip

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

As decent as the start into Day 1c was for Luis Alberto De Marco, as badly the last few levels went. Eventually, the Spaniard got it in preflop for around 13,000 with {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and his table neighbor looked him up with the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

The {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop sent De Marco behind, and he failed to catch any help on the {4-Diamonds} turn and {k-Diamonds} river run out.
