Buonanno Busto; Schwaiger Doubles
Antonio Buonanno, who won the title here in Monte Carlo back in 2014, opened to 500 and Dejan Pustoslemsek called from one seat over. Romain Nardin three-bet to 1,800 in the small blind and both opponents called. On a flop of 
, the small continuation bet of Nardin was called by Buonanno only, and that brought the 
on the turn.
Nardin bet 4,100 and Buonanno called before the 
on the river brought a four card flush and a check of Nardin. Buonanno moved all in for the last 7,800, and Nardin eventually called. Buonanno rolled over the 
for aces and eights, and Nardin had that beat with 
for a flush.
One hand later, Marc MacDonnell raised to 450 and quickly called the shove of short stack Jose Vendrell Schwaiger.

The board came 
and the German doubled, while MacDonnell dropped below starting stack again.
