Isaia Back in Business
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Atanas Malinov made it 1,000,000 to go on the button and Alessio Isaia shoved for just over 5,000,000 from the big blind. Malinov called.
Alessio Isaia: A♠3♠ 
Atanas Malinov: 8♥8♠
Isaia was at risk of becoming the fifth-place finisher and took a step closer to the payout desk after the J♣4♦2♥ flop. The Italian player did pick up a gutshot to a wheel, but it was the A♦ on the turn that also worked for him as he paired his ace. Only a river eight could send Isaia home, but the 3♣ instead improved him to two pair and earned him a double.
