Di Nicola Loses Big Pot and Receives Penalty on Top

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Ermanno Di Nicola
Ermanno Di Nicola

Aleksandras Rusinovas opened for 800,000 out of his 990,000 chip stack in early position. Ermanno Di Nicola made the call in the cutoff and action folded through the blinds.

At this point, Di Nicola exposed his hand, mistakenly thinking that Rusinovas was all in. With an over €2,000 pay jump coming up at 17th place, Rusinovas made no secret of tanking and checking the other tables before making an action. A player at the table then approached the floor staff and called the clock on Rusinovas. He ultimately tossed in the remaining 199,000 before the countdown hit 30 seconds.

Aleksandras Rusinovas: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Ermanno Di Nicola: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The dealer spread {8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} to give Rusinovas a winning pair of kings.

On top of losing a significant portion of his stack, Di Nicola was given a two-hand penalty for prematurely exposing his hand.

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jacobo Montoya
Jacobo Montoya

Diego Montone has just lost his lead atop the table after a blind battle with Jacobo Montoya.

Montone limped the small blind and Montoya checked to see a flop of {6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

Montone check-called a 250,000 chip bet from Montoya to see the {10-Clubs} on the turn.

Montone again checked and this time was faced with a bet of 700,000 from his opponent. After some deliberation, Montone called.

The river brought the {9-Clubs} and both players checked.

Montone showed {k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a flopped top pair, but Montoya turned over {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a flopped two pair, which held up to win over 1,000,000 chips from Montone.
