Level 30 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Christian Andronico made it 120,000 under the gun before Luca Bartolacci three-bet jammed his stack of 715,000 from the hijack. It folded back to Andronico, who made an instant call.

Christian Andronico: J♠J♣ All in
Luca Bartolacci: K♣Q♣

The 5♥8♦6♣ flop and 10♥ turn were of no use to Bartolacci, and Andronico riverd a set with the J♥ to secure the pot and knock out Bartolacci in 25th.

After the hand, Vincenzo D'Agostino claimed he had folded pocket tens in the small blind with his short stack.

Kajetan Masiewicz made a raise to 120,000 in the hijack before Vincenzo D'Agostino stuck in his stack of 1,055,000 from the small blind. Big blind Andreas Putz asked for a count, after which he flicked in a call.

Masiewicz quickly got out of the way for the other two players to show down.

Vincenzo D'Agostino: 10♣10♦ All in
Andreas Putz: J♦J♣

D'Agostino was in bad shape against the superior pair of Putz, and he was eliminated when the 3♠8♦3♦9♥4♠ runout did not grant him a ten.

Level 30 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Andrii Nikitin had opened from middle position when he was faced with a three-bet from Friedrich Raez in the big blind. Nikitin then four-bet jammed his stack of 3,000,000, and Raez snap-called with the covering stack.

Andrii Nikitin: K♠J♠ All in
Friedrich Raez: K♥K♣

Nikitin had found the wrong timing to four-bet bluff. The 9♦4♠7♣4♦ turn left him drawing dead against the kings of Raez, who was awarded the big pot when the 8♥ hit the river, sending Nikitin out.

Alessandro Giordano: J♠J♦ All in
Mykhailo Demydenko: K♥J♥

Giordano was in a good spot to double up. The 2♦7♥7♠ turn remained safe for him, but the 5♥ turn gave Demydenko a flush draw. The K♠ iver gave the Ukrainian a better pair, awarding him the pot and sending Giordano home in 22nd.

Barnaba Perone opened to 200,000 under the gun and saw Zoran Stojanovic commit his final 1,000,000 from the cutoff. It folded back to Perone, who snapped it off, revealing the cards.

Zoran Stojanovic: A♥J♠ All in
Barnaba Perone: A♦Q♠

The 6♥2♠K♥ flop was of no help to Perone. The Q♣ turn gave him four instead of three outs, but his gutshot missed on the 9♣ river, eliminating him 21st place.

Level 31 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Petre Ionescu open-jammed his button, covering both blinds. Simone Avancini called off in the small blind for roughly 750,000, and the cards were tabled.

Simone Avancini: K♠Q♠ All in
Petre Ionescu: Q♣8♦

Avancini was in a great spot to double up, but the deck flopped Ionescu a full house on Q♦Q♥8♣. Avancini could still win the pot with a king, but the 9♣ turn and 2♥ river did not bring one, eliminating him instead.

Petre Ionescu: A♥A♦

Ionescu's rockets flopped a set on 6♠A♣8♣, leaving Castellani drawing to running outs. The 7♦ turn provided a gutshot for the Italian, but the Q♥ river did not complete it, sending Castellani out in 18th.

Manel Montalban: Q♠Q♦

Montalban faded the ten on the K♦2♠5♣2♥7♠ runout, eliciting a big sigh of relief. Neagoe said his goodbyes and gave out some hugs before the 16 remaining players converged onto two tables.
