Ola Brandborn Eliminated in 40th Place (€ 14,650)

Ola Brandborn moved the rest of his chips in pre-flop with Q-9 and was off to the races with Pete "The Beat" Giordano's 5-5. The flop was J-9-4, giving the lead to Brandborn.

"C'mon Presto!" yelled Giordano's cheering section, imploring for a 5 on the turn.

Well, they got their wish. A 5 hit the turn and Giordano sent Brandborn packing in 40th place. Giordano took the chip lead on the hand, with his stack up to 420,000.

Giovanni Spadavecchia Eliminated in 36th Place (€14,650)

Giovanni Spadavecchia was on the losing end of two pots. On the first hand, Daan Ruite (Holland) doubled through Spadavecchia. Ruite's {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} held up against Spadavecchia's {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. That left Spadavecchia with just 44K.

On the next hand, Spadavecchia was involved in a three-way pot. On a flop of {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, Trond Eidsvig (Norway) checked and Spadavecchi moved all in. Eric Hardt (USA) called and Eidsvig check-raised Hardt all in. Hadrt went into the tank for three minutes before he folded. Spadavecchi showed {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for top pair. Eidsvig flipped over {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for two pair. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and Spadavecchi picked up a flush draw along with a gutshot. The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Eidsvig won the hand with a full house. Spadavecchi headed to the rail in 36th place. He won €14,650.
