Cecchetti Gets Shove Through

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Umberto Zaffagnini raised to 16,000 in early position. Matteo Cecchetti then three-bet to 46,000 on the button, and Zaffagnini called.

Zaffagnini check-called when Cecchetti bet 25,000 on the A8K flop and did so again when Cecchetti fired 55,000 on the 6 turn.

Zaffagnini checked a final time on the 5 river. Cecchetti put it all at risk by sliding in his stack of 134,000, but this time he received a fold, taking the pot without showdown.

Cvetkovic Falls to Start of Day Chip Leader

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In a cutoff versus button battle preflop, the cutoff player Grzegorz Kozieja had Andrija Cvetkovic all-in and at risk for his remaining stack of roughly 220,000.

Andrija Cvetkovic: AJ All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: AK

There was no help waiting from the deck for Cvetkovic, as the QQ6910 flop brought his Main Event run to an end.

Pak Puts Skiscim Into the Blender

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jacek Skiscim raised to 16,000 in the cutoff and called when Edward Pak three-bet to 56,000 from the big blind.

Both players checked on the 792 flop, but Pak elected to bet 55,000 on the 9 turn, which Skiscim called. The 3 river saw Pak bet again, this time for a more substantial 220,000. Skiscim utilised two time extensions before opting to fold.

Ivarsson Soars as Talbot Falls

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Alexander Ivarsson
Alexander Ivarsson

A completed board of 95A105 was on the table when Kalidou Sow bet 225,000 into a pot of 400,000 from the big blind. Alexander Ivarsson was under the gun and tanked for a few moments before he called.

Sow could only show a bluff with 87, leaving Ivarsson to take the pot with KJ.

Meanwhile, at another table, Parker Talbot lost his remaining chips and was eliminated from the Main Event.

River of Nightmares for Sanguedolce

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kalman Dohany raised to 16,000 from middle position and Antonino Sanguedolce three-bet the hijack to 48,000. Dohany called.

Dohany checked the 85A flop, and Sanguedolce continued for 35,000. Dohany check-raised to 90,000, and Sanguedolce snap-shoved for 130,000. Dohany called, putting Sanguedolce at risk.

Antonino Sanguedolce: AQ All in
Kalman Dohany: A10

Sanguedolce had the higher kicker and looked likely to double just after the break.

The 5 turn gave Dohany some chop opportunities, but the chop never came. Instead, the 10 rolled off on the river to give him two pair, sending Sanguedolce to the rail with a bad beat story to tell his buddies.

Foggin Doubles With Big Slick, Busts Next Hand

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Marc Foggin
Marc Foggin

After several preflop raises, Marc Foggin was all in for 176,000 on the button. His opponent was Raffael Brum, who had him covered under the gun.

Marc Foggin: AK All in
Raffael Brum: A5

Brum flopped more outs on 392, but his gutshot did not materialize on the Q turn or Q river, sending the pot Foggin's way.

Although Foggin doubled up to a stack of over 50 big blinds, he would still become the final elimination of Level 17, as he was knocked out the very next hand. At another table, Iegor Zarev was eliminated slightly before.
