Francesco Di Profio Eliminated in 22nd Place (€12,000)

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Francesco Di Profio
Francesco Di Profio

Francesco Di Profio raised it up to 180,000 in middle position. Siarhei Sochneu flat-called in the cutoff, and Merijn van Rooij followed suit on the button.

In what has become his signature move, Di Profio massively over-bet jammed on the A86 flop, putting in his stack of 2,930,000. Sochneu quickly called, playing only 10,000 less, while Van Rooij got out of the way.

Siarhei Sochneu: 66 All in
Francesco Di Profio: AK

Di Profio's top pair was in dire straits against the set of Sochneu, but the K turn provided some hope. Di Profio did not improve further on the J river, however. Sochneu was granted the huge double-up, while Di Profio was left with crumbs.

One hand later, Di Profio committed his final chips to the middle. Sochneu isolated the all-in with a raise, and the rest of the table mucked their hands.

Francesco Di Profio: 83 All in
Siarhei Sochneu: Q10

Sochneu made Broadway on the A10KJ turn, and the 5 river failed to chop the pot, sending Di Profio to the exit.
