Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Players were already preparing to bag up for the night when Juan Pardo limped in from the small blind on the last hand. Enrico Coppola checked his option and they saw a flop of Q♥5♦4♠.

Pardo led out for 40,000 and Coppola called. The turn was the Q♣ and Pardo bet another 140,000. Coppola then raised to 375,000 and Pardo used two time banks before moving all in for 1,095,000. Coppola snap-called.

Pardo showed 7♦6♥ for a straight draw, while Coppola had Q♦10♥ for trips. The 4♣ river was no help to Pardo and he was sent to the rail in 19th place.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Leon Zeaiter raised to 75,000 in the cutoff and Jerome Sgorrano called on the button.

Zeaiter checked the 9♦8♠2♠ flop and Sgorrano bet 65,000. Zeaiter then raised to 215,000 and Sgorrano called.

The turn was the A♦ and Zeaiter bet 400,000. Sgorrano called again to see the 4♥ river, where Zeaiter moved all in.

"Are you bluffing or not, my friend?" Sgorrano said as he went deep into the tank. He eventually emerged with a call and Zeaiter made sure he put the chips in before slamming down A♣A♥ for a set. Sgorrano mucked 10♠9♠ and Zeaiter doubled up.

"I have more time banks than chips," Sgorrano said as he put in his last 15,000 (less than the big blind) the next hand. Action folded to Malcolm Franchi in the big blind, who automatically put him at risk.

Jerome Sgorrano: J♦5♦ All in
Malcolm Franchi: 10♣6♣

Franchi hit a pair and flush draw on the 6♥Q♣7♣ flop, but Sgorrano made a pair of jacks on the J♥ turn. The river was the 6♠ and Franchi improved to trips to send Sgorrano to the rail.

Pardo and Coppola got out of the way, but Goeller took a minute before calling.

Fahredin Mustafov: K♣K♠ All in
Andreas Goeller: J♠J♦

Mustafov had Goeller dominated and was poised for a massive double up, but Goeller spiked a set on the J♣5♥3♥ flop. The board ran out Q♣8♥ and Mustafov was sent crashing to the rail in 27th place.
