Level 31 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Big blind Osman Mustanoglu had squeezed all in preflop, with Ian Simpson in the cutoff and Umberto Ruggeri in the small blind calling him.

The A♠A♦2♥ flop fell with around 3,500,000 in the middle, to which Ruggeri added 300,000. Simpson called to the 4♥ turn, where he quickly folded when Ruggeri continued for 420,000.

Osman Mustanoglu: 8♠8♥ All in
Umberto Ruggeri: A♣J♥

The Q♦ river did not fill up Mustanoglu's eights, sending him to the rail as five tables remained.

Umberto Ruggeri	17,950,000 6,950,000	6,950,000
