Ermanno Di Nicola Eliminated in 3rd Place (€166,120)
Level 36
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jose Manuel Gonzalez limped from the button and Pedro Marques did so from the small blind while Ermanno Di Nicola was forced all-in for 250,000 in the big blind. Marques check-called a bet worth 600,000 on the 
flop and check-folded the 
turn when Gonzalez bet once more.
Ermanno Di Nicola: 
Jose Manuel Gonzalez: 
Di Nicola was drawing dead already and the 
river was a mere formality as the Italian had to settle for €166,120, making the most out of the short stack laddering.
Both remaining players are now taking a short break and potentially discuss an ICM deal.
