Raffaele Sorrentino opened the action with a raise to 180,000 from the cutoff and Donald Duarte Sierra moved all in from the button. "How much is it?" Sorrentino asked and then called when it was deemed to be for 1,485,000.

Donald Duarte Sierra: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}
Raffaele Sorrentino: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop took away outs for Duarte, and he was left drawing dead on the {9-Diamonds} turn. This made the {A-Diamonds} river a formality and Duarte exited in 11th place for €87,100.

After the next elimination, the remaining nine players will combine for the unofficial final table.
