Fausto Tantillo Eliminated in 3rd Place (€29,000)
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
With no action for some time, suddenly the tournament sprung into life!
Vladimir Lappo limped from the small blind and then Fausto Tantillo made it 320,000 from the big blind. Lappo called.
The flop of J♦10♣4♣ saw Lappo check and Tantillo continue with a bet of 220,000, which Lappo called to the A♠ turn.
Another check came from Lappo and Tantillo fired out 720,000, which Lappo called after some time thinking.
When the 9♠ hit the river, Lappo checked for a third time and Tantillo shoved 1,630,000. Lappo went into his deepest tank yet and after around two minutes, he found the call.
"You win," said Tantillo as he showed 10♦6♠ for a pair of tens.
Lappo then rolled over A♥5♣ for a pair of aces, and took the chip lead into heads-up play.
