Mart Hits the Wall

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Massimiliano Manigrasso opened to 50,000 preflop before Germano Martucci moved all in for about 250,000. Costantino Russo then flat called the shove, only for Manigrasso to reraise all in. Russo had about 450,000 behind before folding what he later said was Queens.

Manigrasso: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Martucci: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Manigrasso moves up to 1.2 million.

Easy Game for Ludo

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Ludovic Lacay
Ludovic Lacay

The Ludovic Lacay roller coaster continues - he's now up to around a million.

We only caught the very end of the hand, but the board read {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Lacay had bet 137,000. Costantino Russo thought about it for a little while and eventually called, but mucked to Lacay's {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} straight and dropped to 650,000.

Soulless

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Fabrice Soulier
Fabrice Soulier

Just a few hands after losing most of his stack to Andrew Teng, Fabrice Soulier handed the Brit the rest of his chips.

David Lichentin had made the opening raise to 35,000 and Teng had just called from the button when Soulier shoved from the small blind for his last 143,000. Lichentin removed his shades and blinked furiously for a little while but eventually folded; Teng also removed his sunglasses and blinked, but he made the call.

Soulier: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Teng: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Board: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

And with that, Soulier was gone. Teng is up to 1.45 million.

Maximum Effect, Minimum Effort

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Max Heinzelmann
Max Heinzelmann

Max Heinzelmann has doubled back up to about 550,000 after he cold 4-bet all-in from the big blind for 266,000 over Fabrizio Cataldi's initial open to 33,000 and Anthony Picault made it 75,000 on the button.

Cataldi folded but Picault made the call with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, Heinzelmann flipped {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The {J-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts} was a good one for the Frenchman but the {10-Clubs} on the turn suddenly gave Heinzelmann many more outs. The {A-Hearts} came on the river and Picault made two pair but the runner-up from EPT Berlin had made a straight to survive.

Losing Del-Focus

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The flop read {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs} when Luca Cavecchi bet out 42,000 from the big blind. UTG+1, Francesco Delfoco shove for a little over 200,000. It was a big decision for Cavecchi - the stacks were roughly even - but eventually he called. It wasn't a good call.

Cavecchi: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Delfoco: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

But wait!

Turn: {10-Spades} making Cavecchi trips

River: {4-Hearts}

Delfoco gazed around the room as though into the abyss. He busted out in 49th place, just before the next pay jump. Cavecchi is meanwhile up to 550,000.
