Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Virgile Turchi opened to 165,000 from under the gun and Antonino Venneri defended his big blind.
Venneri quickly check-raised to 500,000 after Turchi continued for 175,000 on the K♥J♠7♣ flop. Turchi called.
Venneri fired out another 700,000 on the 4♠ turn, and Turchi called after some thinking time.
The 8♦ river completed the board and Venneri snap-jammed for 1,875,000 and was met with a snap call.
Venneri tabled J♣4♣ for jacks and fours, but Turchi had the winner with his 7♦7♥ for a set of sevens.
Venneri was distraught at the hand, and visibly upset after losing what was one of the bigger stacks in the room.

Gabi Livshitz opened to 160,000 from under the gun and was called by Euseibiu Jalba from the button. Mohamed El Berrak moved all-in for 145,000 from the small blind before the big blind folded.
Livshitz check-called for 80,000 and 150,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read K♥6♥2♣2♥10♣. Livshitz checked for a third time and Jalba went deep into the tank. Remy Murcia called the clock and as the countdown began, Jalba bet 945,000, leaving himself 100,000 behind. Livshitz then used some thinking time of his own, and appeared to make a reluctant fold.
Jalba took the side after folding out Livshitz but could not beat El Barrak. Jalba had ace-high with A♦J♥ but El Berrak, with A♥6♠, had a pair of sixes to claim the main pot.

Ankit Ahuja, positioned in the hijack, opted to call the initial raise from Atanas Malinov, who occupied an early position.
The flop of 5♥Q♣3♥ went checked through without any bets.
When the 9♣ turn appeared, Malinov bet 375,000 chips, prompting Ahuja to take some time before making the call.
On the river 2♣, Malinov aggressively shoved almost his entire stack of 100,000 chips into the pot, totaling around 1,900,000, effectively putting Ahuja at risk, as he had approximately 1,300,000 left. Ahuja, facing the decision, opted to call, leading to the showdown:
Ankit Ahuja: A♠A♥
Atanas Malinov: Q♠9♠
A fortunate turn for Malinov as the top pair materialized on the board, sealing Ahuja's fate. He exited in 23rd place, securing a €8,720 prize.
