The bell tolls for Tamburini

Former chip leader Massimiliano Tamburini, down to 200,000 on the nose, pushed all in under the gun. It folded all the way around to small blind Atanas Gueorguiev -- who re-shoved. The big blind passed and Tamburini chuckled, inquiring, "Ace-king?"

Yes indeed.

Gueorguiev: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

Tamburini: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

Some optimistic Italians at the rail shouted for a queen, but it was not to be.

Board: {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

A gentlemanly handshake later and he was out in 17th place.
