Alisa Sibgatova
Alisa Sibgatova

Alisa Sibgatova jammed for 270,000 from early position and was called by Saam Pishvaie from the small blind.

The following hand, Ankit Ahuja opened to 60,000 from the button. Pishvaie, with 405,000, made it 385,000. Action folded back to Ahuja, who moved all in as the big stack. Pishvaie then went into the tank, as the tournament was on a payjump. Some players were not fans of the stalling and called the clock fairly quickly. In the end, he put in the last of his chips.

Saam Pishvaie: 77 All in
Ankit Ahuja: A9

Pishvaie remained ahead following the KQ6 flop and K turn, but Ahuja paired up on the 9 river to score the KO.

GTO Nizard?

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

Get ready to strap in, because this may have been the wildest hand of the day.

Deborah Nizard opened to 75,000 from early position and was called by Federico Fundaro on the button.

The pair then engaged in some table talk, whether they would bluff or not bluff in the pot.

The dealer put out the Q86 flop and Nizard continued for 75,000 before Fundaro clicked it to 150,000.

Nizard then asked Fundaro why he wasn't being "tranquille" as the 7 turn came into play. Both players checked, which brought in the 7 river.

With 525,000 in the pot, Nizard said something on the lines of "let's go," and moved all in for 930,000.

Fundaro was stunned, and uttered some expletives that would make a nun blush.

"I don't think I can fold," continued Funaro and then Nizard called for the clock. By the time the floor reached the table, Fundaro called as the bigger stack.

Nizard slammed her K6 on the table for sevens and sixes and was bested by Fundaro's 97, which was good for trip sevens.

"You bluff a lot," added Fundaro as Nizard left her seat.

With that pot, Fundaro became the biggest stack in the room, with around 3,500,000 in chips.

Set vs. Set Showdown Sees Tropea's Departure

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

From the hijack, Renato Hysenbelli initiated with a minimum raise to 80,000, met by Federico Macori's three-bet to 240,000 in the cutoff, which Hysenbelli called.

Macori then bet 125,000 on the 83Q flop, prompting a check-raise to 350,000 from Hysenbelli. After some contemplation, Macori made the call.

Upon the turn of 5, Hysenbelli promptly went all-in, swiftly called by Macori.

Renato Hysenbelli: 33All in
Federico Macori: QQ

In a showdown of set over set, Hysenbelli failed to find his one-outer on the 9 river, leading to his elimination.
