The 
board spelled the end for Murrachioli, as he was covered with a stack of 31,500.

flop, the action checked to Grieco and he bet 17,500. Sfez called and Ruzzi then pushed all-in for around 61,000.
Margets moved all-in over the top for 75,000 and Grieco tank-folded, Sfez also got out of the way.
Matias Ruzzi: 
Leo Margets: 
"I folded aces," Grieco mentioned in table chat. The 
turn gave Margets a straight and the 
river sent Ruzzi to the rail as the WSOP bracelet winner soared about the average.
The next bigger pot involving Gaelle Baumann had produced a board of

on the river.
Deak led out with a bet of 22,000 which put Soenmez in the tank for a couple of minutes. Eventually, Soenmez laid his hand down and Deak raked in the pot.
Jason Wheeler patted himself on the back for a good fold as Lucien Cohen had to part ways with 44,000 in order to pay off Alexandros Kolonias. The latter had been behind preflop with

board to crack the 
of Cohen for the double.
