Lim Saves Himself Against Syzghanov; Cuomo Wins a Race Against Mazzilli
Three-handed on a flop of 9♠3♥5♣, Yakiv Syzghanov bet 250,000 from the hijack and both Chin Wei Lim in the cutoff and big blind Jakub Sterba called.
The turn was the Q♣ and Syzghanov bet another 850,000. Only Lim called this time and the 2♦ fell on the river.
Syzghanov slowed down and checked, and Lim took a minute before checking back. Syzghanov showed Q♦5♦ for two pair, and Lim flashed A♥Q♥ before mucking.
At the same time at another table, Alessandro Mazzilli had moved all in for 1,200,000 from under the gun as action folded around to Daniele Cuomo who snap-called in the big blind.
Alessandro Mazzilli: 8♠8♦
Daniele Cuomo: A♥J♥
Cuomo hit top pair on the J♦6♦9♥ flop to take the lead, while the rest of the board came 2♥K♠ to send Mazzilli to the rail.
Abdelhakim Zoufri was also eliminated to bring the field down to the final four tables.
