First Break of the Day
15-mins break
David Lichentin Eliminated in 21st Place (€25,000)
PokerStars Online qualifier David Lichentin has been knocked by Max Lykov, the Team PokerStars Pro calling the Frenchman's all in push on the turn of a board with . Lichentin could only show for a flush draw and missed on the river. Lykov is up to 2 million now.
Manigrasso Tripped Up by Liu
Meanwhile at the next table Xuan Liu and Massimiliano Manigrasso were getting involved. It looked as though Liu had raised from the button preflop and Manigrasso had called from the big blind, but the flop action remains a mystery. When we caught up with them on the turn of the board Manigrasso was betting out 151,000 and Liu was calling. Again, the river action will forever remain hazy (our movements are somewhat restricted in the hushed and dark theatre) but we can tell you that the river was the and at showdown, Liu's had Manigrasso's outkicked. She is up to 1.65 million, while he is down to 1.15 million.
Cavecchi Getting Bogged Down
Luca Cavecchi opened to 72,000 from the button and soon faced a reraise to 166,000 from Marco Bognanni in the big blind. Cavecchi called, and they saw a flop.
The flop in question came down and Bognanni bet out 115,000. Undeterred, Cavecchi raised to 146,000. Bognanni tanked up for some time, and then three-bet to 395,000. Cavecchi quickly folded and is down to just 650,000. Bognanni's stack meanwhile has been fortified to over 1.7 million.
Freddy Darakjian Eliminated in 22nd Place (€25,000)
Action on the feature table so we have no clue of how it happened but Freddy Darakjian was all in preflop with against Roberto Spada (whose middle name really should be "This is") who was holding . The board came and we're a Frenchman down.
Nicola Grieco Eliminated in 23rd Place (€25,000)
Fabrizio Cataldi could never have guessed the carnage his action would have caused when he raised to 66,000 from under the gun. Nicola Grieco three-bet from the cut-off making it 200,000 to play. Rupert Elder was the man on the button and he promptly four-bet to 345,000. The small blind folded and Luca Cavecchi suddenly shouted "problemo!" from the big blind. He gave the table the usual Italian hand gestures and muttered a lot of words before folding what we can only assume to be a very strong hand.
Cataldi was the next person to speak when he asked Elder how much he had started the hand with and Elder replied, "two million." Cataldi put his hand over his mouth, shot a glance at Grieco and then decided to fold.
Grieco had 800,000 behind and he played with a tower of blue chips worth 200,000 before eventually announcing all-in. Elder called so quickly I thought he was going to fall off his chair. Everyone dived around the table to watch the demise of the Italian and the rise to the top of the chip counts by the youngster from the UK.
