Parker Talbot moved all-in from the small blind and Ren Lin called off his 4,700,000 in the big blind.
Ren Lin: Q♦8♠ 
Parker Talbot: A♥J♥
The Q♥J♣6♥ flop was an action one as Lin flopped top pair while Talbot flopped middle pair and a flush draw. The K♦ fell on the turn, giving Talbot extra outs, and the 7♥ river improved him to a flush to eliminate Lin.
Claudio Di Giacomo played tight today and laddered a bit before ultimately falling in 11th place for €50,590.
Level: 38
Blinds: 400,000/800,000
Ante: 800,000
Ren Lin opened to 1,300,000 in the cutoff and Martin Zamani defended in the big blind.
The flop of 10♥Q♦4♠ checked through and Zamani checked again on the 10♣ turn. Lin bet 1,500,000 and Zamani called.
Zamani checked once more on the 8♥ river and Lin checked back. Zamani showed A♥8♣ for a pair of eights and Lin shook his head as he mucked.
"No respect! You call me ace-high on turn?!" Lin said.

Jean Benvenga jammed 9,700,000 in the hijack and Alexandre Reard called in the cutoff with the exact same stack.
Jean Benvenga: A♦7♥
Alexandre Reard: J♠J♥
Reard was in front with his pocket jacks but the ace came in the window as the dealer fanned the A♣K♣4♦ flop. Reard was unable to find one of the remaining jacks as the 3♠ fell on the turn, and the 9♦ on the river.
Stanislovas Vinicenka opened 1,300,000 from the hijack, and Francesco Macri three-bet to 3,200,000 in the big blind.
Vinicenka eyed his own stack for a couple of seconds before deciding to pitch his cards into the muck.
Sylvain Berthelot opened to 1,200,000 on the button and Parker Talbot shoved from the small blind. Berthelot alled all in for his last 10,000,000 and a showdown was held.
Sylvain Berthelot: 10♥10♣
Parker Talbot: A♣5♣
The 6♠10♠7♠A♦3♥ runout left Berthelot best with a set of tens and he doubled through Talbot.
Parker Talbot was all-in for around 13,000,000 in the big blind against Martin Zamani on the button.
Parker Talbot: 10♥10♦
Martin Zamani: A♥6♣
Zamani picked up outs on the 5♣3♠6♦ flop, but the board finished out a safe 8♥7♣ to earn the last ambassador standing yet another double. It's been a miraculous comeback for Talbot, who just hours ago was down to two big blinds.
Francesco Macri opened 1,500,000 in the hijack and Magnus Persson three-bet 4,000,000 next to act. Kevin Madar was on the button and shoved his last 4,700,000, and Macri tank-folded before Persson pushed more chips across the line.
Kevin Madar: A♣K♦
Magnus Persson: A♠A♦
It was worst case scenario for Madar, and the J♦9♦5♥9♠3♠ runout was no help as he stood up from the table.
