The players are on 75-minute dinner break.
On a rather wet board reading a whole lot of action kicked off and a huge pot was created. We got to the table to see the button, Christian Togsverd, sat with a raise of 33,000 in front of him, Stefano Servalli in early position with 12,600 in front of him and we heard Fabrizio Leonardi move all in for what turned out to be 111,500! Yes really!
Togsverd had seen enough and he got out of the way but Servalli called off the rest of his stack, around 80,000.
Servalli:
Leonardi:
Togsverd claims to have folded pocket kings which helped neither play in the grand scheme of things. The turn improved both players to a boat but Servalli held a very expensive second best one. The on the river completed the hand, eliminated Servalli and boosted Leonardi to around 225,000.
Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin has been knocked out after he made a move for all his stack with on the turn of a board, but Nicola Chiarinelli made a very quick call with and avoid a king on the river. Chiarinelli now sits with about 100,000.

Mihai Manole opened to 3,200 and got three callers in Georgios Karakousis, Todd Terry and Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand Grospellier. Patrik Antonius then moved all in for 35,500 and Manole and Karakousis both folded, Todd Terry got a count and looked as though he might be calling but after some calculation opted for the fold. Grospellier quickly folded as well.

The hand we are about to describe is one of the reasons poker players flock to tournaments hosted in Italy.
The action folded around to Piero Schiavulli in the cutoff and he looked down at his cards, doubled checked that he had 31 big blinds and moved all-in for 50,100. The button and small blind folded but our Hungarian chip leader, Balazs Botond, made the call.
Botond:
Schiavulli; !!
The flop gave Chiavulli some hope of staying in the EPT Campione Main Event and the smacked him straight between the eyes, gifting him a straight. The inconsequential on the river completed the hand and Schiavulli leapt from his seat with a cry of "VAMOS!" Well played that man.
