Antonio Scala Eliminated in 3rd Place (€43,500)

Carsten Mawick has finished off Antonio Scala in consecutive hands.

In the first, Scala was all-in with 7♥7♣ against Mawick's K♠K♥, and no help arrived on the Q♣J♠2♠5♣4♣ runout.

Scala was left with 300,000 and was forced all-in in the small blind against Mawick in the next hand.

Scala had 10♠6♠ and was ahead of Mawick's 9♠7♣, but the Q♥9♥J♦A♠6♦ runout sent the pot to Mawick with a pair of nines.

A great run from Scala for his biggest career tournament score - Vallone goes into heads-up play with a more than 2:1 lead over Mawick.

The players have went on a short-break before heads-up play begins.
