The 9♦ fell on the turn and Tzinisi check-called another bet from Taddei, this time for 7,000.

Tzinis checked for the last time upon seeing the dealer put out the K♠ on the river. Taddei immediately shoved for roughly 65,000 and Tzinis folded fairly quickly.

Nicola Stagi raised to 12,000 from under the gun, Maksim Haitsiukevich called on the button and Prateek Mittal, in the small blind, placed a small three-bet of 30,000. Both players called.

The 8♠5♣K♣ flop saw Mittal continue for 25,000. Stagi moved all in and Haitsiukevich folded. Mittal called off the bet for his effective stack of around 55,000.

Prateek Mittal: 9♦9♠ All in
Nicola Stagi: K♦8♦

Mittal's pocket pair was behind and the A♣ turn and K♥ river only served to improve Stagi. Mittal was sent to the rail.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Erik Bakker raised to 6,000 from under the gun, a player in early position called and Enguerran Freslon, in the small blind, moved all in for 50,500. Bakker moved all in himself and the player in early position folded.

Enguerran Freslon: A♠J♠ All in
Erik Bakker: Q♥Q♣

The Q♠7♥9♣ flop laned to give Bakker a set. However, the K♠ seemed like a miracle turn card, giving Freslon a royal flush draw. The A♦ river didn't oblige and Bakker sent Freslon to the rail.
