Mattia Festa Eliminated in 23rd Place ($2,500)
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mattia Festa opened to 30,000 with the 2♥2♦ and was called by Tome Dinh in the big blind, who defended the 5♠5♣ to a flop of 5♦4♣2♠. Dinh check-raised from 30,000 to 85,000 and Festa three-bet to 175,000 for Dinh to call.
The 7♥ turn saw Dinh check and Festa bet 225,000. Dinh raised to 605,000 and then called Festa's shove with the superior set. No miracle one outer came with the Q♥ and Festa bowed out in 23rd place, while Dinh soared to massive 2,700,000.
