Parmiggiani Eliminated by Muradov

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

On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Spades}, the stacks of Shakhabiddin Muradov and Leonardo Parmiggiani went into the middle and it was the former all in and at risk.

Shakhabiddin Muradov: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Leonardo Parmiggiani: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The {6-Spades} on the turn improved Parmiggiani to a flush, however, the {6-Diamonds} river paired the board and Parmiggiani was left with very few chips. In fact, he was forced all in from the big blind the next hand after having paid his big blind ante.

Johan Storakers and Muradov checked the {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} flop and Muradov bet 25,000 on the {9-Hearts} turn, which forced out Storakers.

Muradov turned over {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Parmiggiani had the {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The kicker played on the {10-Spades} river and Parmiggiani became the second casualty of the day.

First Hand for Chudapal

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

The action started with a raise to 40,000 from Stefan Jedlicka under the gun. Denys Shafikov made the call and after one time bank card, Siarhei Chudapal three-bet to 125,000 in the small blind. Both Jedlicka and Shafikov called.

The flop appeared {5-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and after some consideration, the three players checked.

On the turn {4-Spades}, Chudapal led for 95,000, and it was enough to make his opponents let it go.
