David Salituro

Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Fausto Tantillo raised to 600,000 under the gun before Iraklis Manikaros moved all in for 6,200,000 in the small blind. Tantillo shot up from his seat and slammed in the chips to call.

Iraklis Manikaros: 10♦10♥ All in
Fausto Tantillo: Q♦Q♣

Tantillo was far ahead with his queens, and whatever hope Manikaros had for a miracle were completely dashed once the flop came K♣K♦K♠ to give Tantillo a full house. The rest of the board ran out J♣8♠ and Manikaros was eliminated in 11th place as Tantillo climbed past 25,000,000.

The table folded around to Fausto Tantillo in the small blind who moved all in. Guillermo Gordo snap-called for around 3,500,000 in the big blind.

Guillermo Gordo: K♠9♣ All in
Fausto Tantillo: A♦4♣

The flop came A♥5♣Q♣ and Tantillo took a big lead with a pair of aces. The 8♦ turn left Gordo drawing dead, while the 7♥ river was a mere formality as Gordo headed off to the payout desk.

Adrien Buetas raised to 900,000 from under the gun, once again leaving 75,000 chips behind. Dashinka then three-bet to 2,000,000 in the hijack, with Buetas calling off his last three chips.

Adrien Buetas: J♦9♣ All in
Dashinka: A♠A♥

Buetas had run into aces again, but found a pair on the Q♦J♠3♠ flop. The 4♣ turn and 4♥ river provided no further assistance, sending Buetas to the rail in 13th place.

Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Adrien Buetas raised to 800,000 from the hijack, leaving 75,000 behind with Q♥J♣. Ermanno Pacini called in the small blind holding K♠Q♣, and Raffaele Castro came along with K♦8♥ in the big blind.

All three players checked through the 4♦A♣7♥ flop and 7♣ turn, as Buetas preserves his last three 25,000 chips. The 4♣ river was also checked around, improbably leaving the trio playing the board to keep Buetas alive.

Fouad Toujani raised to 600,000 with A♠J♣ in the hijack and Ermanno Pacini made the call in the big blind holding J♥9♥.

Both players checked the 9♣4♦7♥ flop before Pacini led out on the 10♦ turn for 500,000.

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Mohamad El-Sayed raised to 600,000 under the gun before Iraklis Manikaros moved all in from the big blind. An all-in was happening on the main feature table at the same time, and El-Sayed looked over and waited for that hand to finish before calling for 3,500,000.

Mohamad El-Sayed: Q♦Q♣ All in
Iraklis Manikaros: 9♥9♦

El-Sayed had Manikaros dominated and improved to a set on the A♦Q♥6♣ flop. The 6♦ turn gave El-Sayed a full house and Manikaros paid off the double up once the 4♦ completed the board on the river.

Fausto Tantillo raised to 600,000 in middle position and Mohamad El-Sayed called in the big blind.

The flop came J♠3♣4♦ and Tantillo continued for 425,000. El-Sayed called and the 3♥ fell on the turn.

Tantillo then bet 1,400,000 and El-Sayed again called. The river was the A♦ and Tantillo announced all in.

El-Sayed had around 3,400,000 remaining and used up two time banks before folding. Tantillo wiped his brow as he took the pot.
