Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Dario Alioto and Igor Pihela were heads-up on a flop of 10♣Q♣K♠ when Pihela got his last 160,000 in from the big blind and Alioto put him at risk under the gun.
Igor Pihela: J♣10♠9♠2♦ 
Dario Alioto: A♣K♣K♥4♥
Pihela had flopped a straight against Alioto's top set, but Alioto made a higher straight on the J♦ turn. The Q♥ river improved Alioto to a full house and sent Pihela to the rail.
Damjan Radanov, Anh Do, and €2,200 The Million Opener champion Puk Nabuurs were also recently eliminated.
