Cada Becomes Chip Leader; Fabrizio Cataldi Eliminated in 20th Place (€25,000)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Fabrizio Cataldi
Fabrizio Cataldi

The previous hand saw Marco Bognanni 3-bet Fabrizio Cataldi's open, forcing the Uruguayan to fold, this might have been playing on Cataldi's mind when he opened the very next hand to 87,000 and Team PokerStars Pro Joe Cada made it 210,000. Cataldi moved all in and Cada snap-called.

Cada: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Cataldi: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The board came {k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Cada won a huge pot to push up to 3.4 million, there was a cloud to this silver lining as Cada and Cataldi are actually close friends.

"I hate knocking out my friend," said Cada.
