Not Nguyening

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Francesco Nguyen
Francesco Nguyen

Francesco Nguyen managed to double up his 121,000 stack against Team PokerStars Pro Joe Cada after the Italian pushed all in preflop over the top of the American's raise. Cada called fairly quickly after everyone else folded.

Cada: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Nguyen: {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The board came {6-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Nguyen jumped out of his chair in celebration. Soon after though, Nguyen was all-in again, this time with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} against Arturo Pierantoni's {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} but couldn't catch a king on a {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board.

The Big Stacks Clash

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

At the start of day four both Paolo Rigano and Nicolas Yunis were sitting on two of the biggest stacks in the room. They are sharing a table so it is inevitable that the two are going to share some card time. In their first big encounter Yunis came out on top.

We joined the action on the turn and the board was {q-Diamonds} {k-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} with over 100,000 in the middle. Both players checked and the river card was the {10-Diamonds}. Rigano was first to act and he bet 75,000. Yunis sighed before making the call but there was no need because it was good.

Yunis{k-Clubs} {j-Diamonds}
Rigano{4-Spades} {5-Diamonds}

Rigano ~ 1,080,000
Yunis ~ 1,600,000

Cada{9-Hearts} {9-Clubs}
Sjogren{8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}

Board: {a-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {7-Spades}

Gianluca Bernardini Benvenuto Eliminated in 60th Place (€15,000)

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Daniel Sjogren opened to 26,000 and Gianluca Bernardini Benvenuto moved all in for 216,000. Sjorgen thought for two minutes before making the call with {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} ahead of his opponent's {10-Spades}{8-Spades}. The board came {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} meaning no help for either player. Benvenuto becomes our first casualty of the day.
