Brian Roberts was extremely short when he had his ten-minutes of all-in fame versus Nicolo Grieco.
| Roberts |   |

Board: 
Grieco ~ 1,000,000
Antonio Venneri raised to 55,000 and Diego Bolzoni defended his big blind. The two of them saw a flop of 
and Bolzoni checked to Venneri who bet 50,000 and the bet was called. The turn was the 
and both players checked. The river was the 
and after asking the dealer to spread the pot Bolzoni bet 150,000 into the 360,000 pot. After some time in the tank Venneri called and Bolzoni showed down 
for a full-house and Venneri mucked.
Venneri ~ 800,000
Bolzoni ~ 1,100,000
Roberto Spada has had an air of invincibility around him since clashing with Ruben Visser on the bubble yesterday. He is certainly one to watch and now seems to have the Poker Gods on his side as well.
Spada raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Lacay defended his big blind.
Flop: 
Lacay Checked, Spada bet 125,000, Lacay check-raised to 315,000, Spada moved all-in and Lacay called.

| Spada |   |
It was a monster pot. The turn didn't change anything but the river 
changed everything. The paired board handing Spada a higher two pair and Lacay was a goner.
Spada ~ 2,100,000
Anthony Picault reraised all in for 248,000 with 
against Rocco Palumbo but was called by the latter's 
which held on a board of 
The Max Heinzelmann rollercoaster continues as he doubled up with 
against the belonging to Stefan Huber. Heinzelmann hit two pair on the 
board, he's back up to 450,000. Huber drops to 500,000.
Maurizio Sepede has succumbed, getting it in good with 
against Dario Nittolo's but falling short on the 
board. He said some things very fast in Italian, of which all we caught was, "Tutta la vita!" but it changed nothing - he busted out in 42nd place, while Nittolo gave various cameras the thumbs up and increased his stack to 950,000.
A series of double ups now - everyone is just refusing to bust, it seems.
Rainer Emde Doubles Through Rocco Palumbo
Emde was so short when he pushed that it seemed worth Palumbo's while to call in the big blind with 
. Emde's 
held on the 
board and he doubled up, but on 140,000 after the event he is still desperately short.
Costantino Russo Doubles Through Roberto Spada
Spada's pocket nines were no good at all against Russo's aces; even less so when Russo flopped a set. Russo is up to 850,000 now, while former chip leader Spada is down to 1.1 million - still above average, but nowhere near the chip lead.
Leonid Bilokur Doubles Through Nicolas Yunis
Yunis raised the button and Bilokur shoved from the small blind. It took Yunis a little while to call but call he did with 
, and it was an easy double up for Bilokur and his pocket on a board. Bilokur is at 450,000 after that, Yunis still among the chip leaders on 1.65 million.
Max Heinzelmann Doubles Through Stefan Huber
Heinzelmann's came good against Huber's when then board ran out . They're at roughly half a million apiece after that, but they're moving in opposite directions.
Xuan Liu had only just welcomed Joe Cada's chips to her chip family when she had to off-load a portion of them to Francesco de Vivo.
Francesco de Vivo raised from the button for 51,000 and Liu three-bet from the small blind making it 121,000 to play. The big blind briefly considered joining in the fun, but folded before Francesco de Vivo moved all-in. Liu doesn't get very excited (externally at least) and she calmly indicated that she was calling and wished her opponent good luck.

Board:
Liu ~ 1,160,000
de Vivo ~ 600,000
Luciano Longhitano has just doubled up through Brian Roberts in a pre flop all-in-fest.

Longhitano ~ 600,000

We arrived at the table with the board already at the turn. It was showing and Xuan Liu had check-raised a 112,000 Cada bet. It was 240,000 in total for Cada to call.
Cada had approx. 850,000 behind and there were 200,000 in the pot. Cada's face moaned and groaned before he eventually announced all-in. His facial expressions didn't matter to Liu because she wasn't even looking at him when she made the call.
"You have a set?" Cada asked.
Liu shook her head and showed and Cada flipped over the inferior 
. Only one card to come and it was the and Liu doubled up to 1,400,000 while Cada slipped back down to 335,000.
