Luca Di Pietro opened to 3,500 from under the gun before PokerStars Team Pro Julien Brecard three-bet to 8,000 from the hijack. Giuseppe Zarbo called from the cutoff before Di Pietro moved all in for 84,000. Brecard rejammed as the slightly bigger stack and Zarbo folded.
Luca Di Pietro: Q♣Q♠
Julien Brecard: A♣A♦
Brecard remained ahead following the J♣10♠8♣ flop and 7♠ turn, but the 9♦ river gave Di Pietro a straight to leave the Frenchman short. He's been eliminated shortly after.
The following hand, Di Pietro opened to 3,500 again. Michele Perego made it 11,500 and action folded back to Di Pietro. He moved all in and Perego called off the 20,000 he had behind.
Michele Perego: A♥A♠
Luca Di Pietro: K♥10♥
Di Pietro paired up on the K♠Q♠5♥ flop to give him another chance of cracking aces. The A♦ turn left Di Pietro drawing to Broadway, which failed to come in after the 6♦ completed the board.
Perego breathed a huge sigh of relief and collected the pot.

Drisse Maouchi moved all in for 21,000 on the button and Fabio Peluso tanked for a minute before calling in the small blind.
Drisse Maouchi: 9♠4♠
Fabio Peluso: A♦5♦
"Fives?" tablemate Kevin Abecassis asked Peluso.
"One five," Peluso replied. The flop came 6♦5♠3♦ and Peluso not only hit a pair but picked up the nut flush draw.
The turn, though, was the 9♥ and Maouchi pulled ahead with a pair of nines. The 2♠ river gave Maouchi a straight and he doubled up.
