Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Casper Jensen opened to 250,000 from early position, and Anton Makejev called on the button. Vittorio Bevilacqua, however, had other plans and moved all-in for 2,550,000 from the small blind.

Jensen made the call, while Makejev got out of the way, setting up a showdown.

Vittorio Bevilacqua: 9♣9♥[sllin]
Casper Jensen: A♦J♦

The flop came 8♣9♦2♥, giving Bevilacqua a set of nines. Jensen paired his ace on the A♠ turn, but it was not enough to beat Bevilacqua's set. The 3♥ river completed the board and secured the double-up for Bevilacqua.

Lulei Hu opened the action with a raise to 210,000 from under the gun and picked up two callers, Marco Lopez Coronado in middle position and Alessandro De Michele on the button.

All three players checked the 4♥6♣K♦ flop and the 2♥ turn.

The 3♥ river brought another check from Hu, but Coronado fired 350,000. De Michele folded, while Hu took some time before making the call.

Domingo turned over J♣J♦, which was enough to take down the pot as Hu's cards went into the muck.
