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.

Xuan Liu Wins a Big Pot From Cada

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

We arrived at the table with the board already at the turn. It was showing {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Clubs} {k-Spades} 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 {k-Clubs} {7-Clubs} and Cada flipped over the inferior {k-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. Only one card to come and it was the {a-Spades} and Liu doubled up to 1,400,000 while Cada slipped back down to 335,000.

Francesco De Vivo's Turn to Double Up

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

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.

Liu{a-Hearts} {10-Clubs}
de Vivo{q-Spades} {q-Diamonds}

Board: {7-Hearts} {k-Spades} {7-Clubs} {k-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}

Liu ~ 1,160,000
de Vivo ~ 600,000

Quadruple Double Ups

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

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 {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Emde's {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} held on the {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} 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 {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and it was an easy double up for Bilokur and his pocket {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} on a {6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} 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 {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} came good against Huber's {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} when then board ran out {4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. They're at roughly half a million apiece after that, but they're moving in opposite directions.

Maurizio, For Poorer

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

Maurizio Sepede has succumbed, getting it in good with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} against Dario Nittolo's {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} but falling short on the {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} 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.
