Joining the action on the Q♦5♥4♦ flop, Dario Alioto bet 6,000. Harry Casagrande raised it up to 26,000 on the button before Alioto went into the tank. He then repotted to 96,500 and Casagrande reluctantly folded.
Quan Zhou raised and Massimiliano Zanasi called before Jakub Koleckar three-bet the pot, picking up calls from both big stacks.
The Q♣10♥6♠ flop got all of the chips into the middle with Koleckar and Zhou at risk.
Jakub Koleckar: A♣A♠K♣J♥
Quan Zhou: 9♠8♦7♠5♦
Massimiliano Zanasi: Q♠Q♥8♠2♥
The 5♥ turn and 3♠ river runout kept Zanasi in the lead and he shot out of the chair to fist-pump celebrate. His 438,000 covered Zhou to ensure a double knockout and the Italian jumped to nearly seven figures in level nine.
Level: 9
Blinds: 1,000/2,500
Ante: 2,500
Ryan Oliver may be freezing with his shirt in the poker arena and already inquired about a hoodie, but didn't want to run to his hotel room at King's Resort to not miss any hand. That decision paid off for now as he raked in another pot.
On a board of Q♦Q♣4♥4♦7♦, the A♥10♦7♥4♣ of Oliver beat his opponent's A♠Q♠J♦10♠ and he raked in another pot.
On a board of Q♥9♠7♦10♣Q♣, Giorgio Donzelli bet 28,000 and Mats Nylander gave it some consideration before splashing in four T-25,000 chips.
Donzelli snap-called all-in and Nylander instantly gasped an "oops" before exposing his J♠10♥7♣5♥. Donzelli's Q♦10♠8♥3♦ was the effective nuts and that left Nylander short.
Krzysztof Budka had out his hopes on a suited rundown with his short stack but the J♦J♠8♦3♣ of Heiko Hinkelmann remained ahead on a board of A♥6♥2♣A♠6♦.
One table over, Yevhen Mevsha got it in with the A♠K♣10♦3♠ and he was up against Jakob Madsen, who held the A♦K♠7♠4♦. Madsen was freerolling after the K♦J♦J♥ flop and got there with the 9♣ turn and 7♦ river.
Mikkel Plum was aiming to send his table neighbour Alessandro De Michele to the rail when they got it in after the 10♥9♠2♣ flop. The Dane's K♦K♠10♠9♥ had made the top two pair but De Michele was ahead with the A♥9♣9♦6♥ for middle set.
The 7♥ turn and 8♦ river gave De Michele a straight instead and he doubled to nearly even out both stack sizes.
Alexander Schwarz was all-in for just 22,000 with the Q♣10♣7♠5♣ and Markus Jordan had him dominated with the A♥Q♦Q♠9♠.
Thanks to a board of K♥9♥7♦3♣10♠, Schwarz spiked two pair and survived while Jordan was left with his head shaking.
Romain Nattaf rebuilt his stack only to suffer yet another setback. Han Kuo doubled his short stack through him with Q♠J♠J♣10♦ when he flopped the nut straight and a set on the J♥9♣8♦Q♣K♠ board.
