Boris Angelov: A♥K♦ All in
Enrico Camosci: K♣6♣

Angelov had top pair, top kicker but was in bad shape against Camosci's two pair. Angelov found no help on the Q♦ river and was sent to the rail while Camosci continued adding chips to his stack.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Playing five-handed, Thomas Eychenne raised to 120,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 290,000 by Enrico Camosci on the button. After the blinds folded, Eychenne four-bet to 550,000. Camosci thought it over, then five-bet shoved to put Eychenne all-in. Eychenne snap-called and the cards were revealed.

Thomas Eychenne: K♣K♥ All in
Enrico Camosci: A♠A♥

Camosci was on the right end of a cooler and just had to fade a king to become the chip leader heading into the final table. The board ran out clean for Camosci's aces, as it came 4♦2♣Q♣5♦4♠ and Eychenne was eliminated in tenth place.

As there was another elimination on the other table at the same time, Eychenne the other player chop the difference in the payout.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action folded around to Markkos Ladev who shoved from the button, covering both opponents in the blinds. Markkos Ladev called off from the big blind with his stack of 650,000, putting himself at risk.

Markkos Ladev: Q♥4♥ All in
Enrico Coppola: A♣K♥

The board ran out Q♠10♣3♠3♥3♦ giving Ladev threes full of queens to send Coppola to the rail and take the pot.

As this hand happened at the same time as Thomas Eychenne was eliminated at the other table while there was a payjump between tenth and ninth place, the two players split the difference between the payouts.

Camosci Puts Ladev to the Ultimate Test

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Enrico Camosci opened from the button and Markkos Ladev defended from the big blind.

The flop came Q♥9♦5♦ and Ladev check-called a 120,000 bet from Camosci.

Both players checked the 8♣ turn leading to the 9♣ river. Ladev bet 140,000 and Camosci raised to 1,100,000. Ladev responded with a raise to 2,700,000 and Caomisci moved all in, covering Ladev who had about 3,200,000 behind. Ladev went into the tank, clearly put on a difficult decision given that he and Camosci had started the hand as the two chip leaders and were very far ahead of the other remaining players.

After a few minutes Ladev released his hand and Camosci took down one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far without showdown, massively extending his lead over the rest of the field in the process.

Enrico Camosci	12,090,000 5,090,000	5,090,000
