Nicola Spallanzani Eliminated in 22nd Place (€25,600)
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Toni Kaukua upped the price to 40,000 in the hijack. It folded to the short-stacked Nicola Spallanzani in the big blind, who obliged with a call. Both players checked the K♠6♣5♥ flop, after which the A♠ appeared on the turn.
Spallanzani checked again before he moved in his 215,000 remaining chips after Kaukua bet 50,000. Kaukua instantly called, and the cards were revealed.
Nicola Spallanzani: 6♥5♦ 
Toni Kaukua: A♥10♥
Spallanzani was in the lead with his flopped two pair, but the K♥ river counterfeited him. Kaukua's aces and kings won the pot, knocking Spallanzani out in 22nd place.
