Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Danilo Donnini made the minimum raise to 2,400,000 in the cutoff with 6♠3♠. Narcis Nedelcu was the only interested party at the table, as he called A♥J♦ in the small blind.

Donnini flopped trips on 3♥8♥3♣ and continued with a bet of 2,800,000. Nedelcu check-called his overcards, and the 3♦ appeared on the turn.

Donnini decided to slow-play his turned quads and checked back when Nedelcu knuckled the table again. Nedelcu then checked a third time on the Q♠ river, seeing Donnini pile in a huge bet of 11,800,000.

Nedelcu gave his ace-high some thought, but ended up correctly folding his cards. Donnini was shipped the pot and soared across the 80-million mark.

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

It folded to Vasyl Palandiuk in the small blind, who looked down at K♥K♦. He raised to 3,000,000. Francesco Gisolfi was in the big blind and called Q♣5♣, seeing the dealer fan a flop of K♠7♣J♠.

Palandiuk continued for 1,600,000, and Gisolfi spent some time in the tank before calling. The 8♣ turn was then checked by both players, after which the 4♦ river completed the board.

Palandiuk piled in a bet of 7,000,000. Gisolfi debated making a move with queen-high, but ended up making the correct fold, preserving his stack of 12 big blinds.

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Francesco Gisolfi open-jammed in the hijack for 14,200,000. Danilo Donnini called on the button, and the cards went open as soon as the blinds got out of the way.

Francesco Gisolfi: A♦J♣ All in
Danilo Donnini: K♥Q♥

Donnini paired up on the 7♠8♥K♣ flop to take the lead. The 8♦ turn was no use to Gisolfi, and Donnini only improved on the Q♦ river to secure the pot.

Gisolfi said his goodbyes to his former opponents and left the tournament area, having turned his €10 online satellite qualification into a sixth-place finish worth €105,070.
