Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jonathan Pastore raised to 35,000 in early position and Enrico Camosci three-bet to 175,000 in the big blind, leaving himself 25,000 back. Pastore called.

"Good luck, Enrico," Pastore said heading to the flop.

"I'm not all in," Camosci replied as the flop came Q♣10♣5♣. Camosci checked to Pastore who moved all in.

Camosci used a time bank before being told by a tournament official he wasn't allowed to use all of them since he was virtually all in already. He then put in his last chips.

Enrico Camosci: 8♥8♦ All in
Jonathan Pastore: Q♥Q♦

Pastore had flopped top set, and Camosci was already drawing dead by the A♠ turn. The 7♥ river was a mere formality and Camosci was eliminated.
