Siciliano Doubles Through Vella

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

When the break had started Mark Vella and Marco Siciliano were still seated at their table.

Vella was sitting on the button and in the tank with a bet of 12,000 in front of him. Marco Siciliano was in the under-the-gun position and was all-in for 50,200. Vella looked pained and reluctantly made the call with the slightly bigger stack.

Marco Siciliano: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Marko Vella: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to give Siciliano a set immediately and Vella needed to hit a runner-runner flush or quad jacks to eliminate Siciliano.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} which meant that Vella was drawing dead and the {3-Spades} on the river was just a formality to complete the board.

Siena Eliminates Lindstrom

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Grazia Caruso limped in from under the gun, Alessandro Siena raised to 4,000 from early position, Davorin Stefanovic called in mid-position and so did James Clark in the lojack. Alexander Lindstrom shoved from the small blind for 15,800 in total. Andrew Hedley folded his big blind and Caruso also got out of the way. Siena looked at the shove and decided to shove too with the bigger stack. Both Stefanovic and Clark quickly folded.

Alexander Lindstrom: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Alessandro Siena: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for Siena to stay ahead throughout the board and improved on the river to make a pair to eliminate Lindstrom from the Grand Event.
