Cortellazzi Gets Some Back

Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Andrea Cortellazzi ramped up his aggression by a notch to open shove once and then three-bet shove with a premium holding.

Up next, he raised to 1,000,000 with the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Grzegorz Glowny called with the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. On the {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, Glowny checked and Cortellazzi bet 2,000,000 to win the pot right there.

Symeon Alexandridis Eliminated in 3rd Place (€497,278)

Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Symeon Alexandridis
Symeon Alexandridis

Grzegorz Glowny open-shoved from the button for 8,350,000 with {a-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Symeon Alexandridis was covered with {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Alexandridis called and was at risk.

The board ran out {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and the turned pair of eights was good enough for Glowny to eliminate Alexandridis in third place for €497,278.

Cortellazzi Jams Into Alexandridis

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Symeon Alexandridis raised to 600,000 on the button with the {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and then faced the shove by Andrea Cortellazzi in the big blind with the {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. No call by Alexandridis followed and the pot was pushed to the chip leader.

This loss sent Alexandridis closer to bottom stack Grzegorz Glowny, who had previously chipped up without showdown.

Short Stack Double for Glowny

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Andrea Cortellazzi raised to 800,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} on the button and table short stack Grzegorz Glowny defended the {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop was checked by Glowny and he folded to the shove by Cortellazzi.

Symeon Alexandridis then min-raised to 600,000 on the button and Glowny jammed for 2,325,000 in the small blind. Cortellazzi asked for a count and folded while Alexandridis called.

Grzegorz Glowny: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Symeon Alexandridis: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The dominated ace fell behind on the {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop but the {j-Spades} turn gave Glowny broadway. Nothing changed on the {a-Hearts} river and Glowny escaped once more.

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Glowny improved to trips on the {7-Diamonds} turn and bet 525,000 for Cortellazzi to call.
