David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ang Lin Yi bet 125,000 from the big blind on a flop of J♦8♣3♥ and Magnus Persson moved all in from the cutoff. Yi quickly called for his last 325,000.

Ang Lin Yi: Q♥J♣ All in
Magnus Persson : 10♥10♦

Yi was ahead with his top pair, but Persson spiked the 10♣ on the turn to make a set. The river was the J♠ as Yi made no-good trips against Persson's full house as he headed to the rail.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Richard Dalberg moved all in from under the gun for 210,000 and was called by Sondre Stormyr in middle position. In the small blind, Jorge Ramella rejammed for 330,000 and Stormyr put in the call to put both players at risk.

Richard Dalberg: A♣J♠ All in
Jorge Ramella: A♥K♥ All in
Sondre Stormyr: A♦Q♥

It was the battle of the aces with Ramella having the best of it until the Q♦8♦8♣ flop vaulted Stormyr into the lead. However, the dealer peeled a miracle K♣ on the turn to put Ramella back in front and it stayed that way on the 6♦ river as he collected a massive pot.

Sondre Stormyr: Q♣Q♥ All in
Vincent Thys: A♥K♣

Brian Battistone: J♦J♣ All in
Petro Vyshynskyy: A♣K♥

Battistone was racing for his tournament life but fell behind on the A♥7♥5♦ flop as Vyshynskyy hit top pair. The rest of the board ran out 5♥Q♥ and Battistone was sent to the rail.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Nicola Spallanzani opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and was called by Tobias Antelo in the small blind.

Antelo checked to Spallanzani on the K♥J♦8♥ flop and he continued for 40,000. Antelo then check-raised to 200,000 — sending Spallanzani deep into the tank.

Several minutes passed by before Spallanzani announced he was all in for a bit over 400,000 total and Antelo snap-called.

Nicola Spallanzani: A♣J♠ All in
Tobias Antelo: K♠Q♥

Spallanzani was in rough shape against the top pair of Antelo, and the 10♥10♣ runout kept Antelo best to eliminate Spallanzani.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Helge Pedersen opened to 60,000 from middle position and just behind him, Federico Macori shoved for his last 400,000. Action folded back around to Pedersen, who quickly called to put Macori at risk.

Federico Macori: Q♦Q♥ All in
Helge Pedersen: A♦K♣

The A♥J♦9♣ flop vaulted Pedersen into the lead with a pair of aces and the 2♦7♣ turn and river changed nothing — awarding the rest of Macori's chips to Pedersen.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Svajunas Seduikis open-jammed a short stack from the button and Van Tran raised in the small blind to send Pascal Ridet into the tank in the big blind. Tran called the clock and Ridet called off for around 230,000.

Svajunas Seduikis: K♥Q♦ All in
Pascal Ridet: A♣K♣ All in
Van Tran: A♦Q♥

Ridet had Tran dominated, who in turn had Seduikis dominated. Nothing changed on the runout of 3♣2♥7♦3♥10♠ for Ridet to secure a near triple-up as Seduikis was sent to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Pascal Ridet	500,000 170,000	170,000

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Peter Farkas opened to 60,000 from middle position and then called when Hugo Gotuzzo three-bet to 225,000 from the cutoff.

On the 10♣9♥4♦ flop, Farkas checked to Gotuzzo who continued for 150,000. Instantly, Farkas responded with an all-in raise for exactly 750,000, which sent Gotuzzo deep into the tank.

After over four minutes of thinking, Gotuzzo made the call to put Farkas at risk.

Peter Farkas: Q♣J♣ All in
Hugo Gotuzzo: A♣Q♦

Gotuzzo found the correct call with just ace-queen-high against the open-ender of Farkas. The board ran out 4♥7♦ and Farkas did not make his straight as he hit the rail.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Santiago Nadal raised to 60,000 in middle position before Tobias Kirby-Hogarty moved all in for 575,000 on the button. Ren Lin called in the small blind and Nadal then reshoved for 2,130,000. "Very bad hand," Lin said as he took more than a minute, eventually laying down two nines.

"Show me kings," Kirby-Hogarty told Nadal as they went to turn over their cards.

Tobias Kirby-Hogarty: A♠5♠ All in
Santiago Nadal: Q♣Q♠

Kirby-Hogarty was looking for an ace to triple up, but Nadal's queens held up through the 7♦5♣4♥10♦2♣ board as he took down the massive pot to send Kirby-Hogarty to the rail.
