Pitzanti On the Right Side of a Big Cooler

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Thomas Harnes raised to 700 in the hijack before Wagner Ripper three-bet to 2,200 in the cutoff. Sandro Pitzanti then four-bet to 6,500 in the small blind and Harnes folded. Ripper moved all in for around 20,000 and Pitzanti snap-called.

Wagner Ripper: KK
Sandro Pitzanti: AA

Ripper had run into a massive cooler but picked up some outs on the AQ9 with a flush draw against Pitzanti's top set. The 8 turn was safe for Pitzanti, and he let out a big fist pump once the 3 completed the board to send Ripper, who finished in third place in this event last year, to the rail.

"She's a good dealer. Change," a tablemate said.

"No change," Pitzanti joked as he collected the big pot.

Delfino Folds the Winner as Silva Takes Out Waki

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Luca Delfino, Marco Silva, and Yasuhiro Waki went to the turn on a board of QA55 when Delfino bet 10,000 from the hijack. Silva then moved all in from the cutoff, Waki called all in for around 20,000 in the small blind, and Delfino folded.

Silva showed A3 for two pair, while Waki had J9 for a flush draw. Delfino shot out of his seat and began pacing around the table as the 8 river sealed Waki's elimination and sent the big pot over to Silva.

"I'm not worried about you. I was worried about him," Delfino told Silva as he sat back down, saying he folded ace-king.

Rajkovic Races with Tomazou

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

An early position open saw two players call before Adi Rajkovic moved all in. Action folded around to Andreas Tomazou, who slid in the call and the hands were turned up.

Adi Rajkovic: AQ
Andreas Tomazou: 1010

Rajkovic was flipping for his tournament life and found two clubs on the 8J6 flop. The K turn brought additional outs in the form of a straight draw. Rajkovic then hit his flush on the 2 river, doubling up while leaving Tomazou with less than 10,000 chips.

Tomazou was seen exiting the tournament area shortly after.
