Georgios Vrakas started the action with an open to 2,400, only to see Eleftherios Papangelis move all in for 16,000 directly to his left. When the action reached Cosmin Tabusca, he also announced all in, for 22,800, and Vrakas folded.
Eleftherios Papangelis: A♦2♥
Cosmin Tabusca: K♥10♥
Papangelis was slightly ahead, but that changed on the Q♣K♠5♣ flop as Tabusca hit a pair of kings. However, the A♣ on the turn shifted the advantage to Papangelis, and with the 7♥ on the river, Papangelis secured the double up. Tabusca was left short and was eliminated in the next hand.

The action was caught as a preflop-raising war saw Fabricio Nociolini, in early position, have both Fergal Coyle, on the button, and Aziz Efe, in the small blind, all in and at risk.

Fabricio Nociolini: J♦J♥
