Frank Visser

Level 33 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Manel Montalban raised to 250,000 under the gun. It folded to Daniele Casino on the button, who went all in for 1,405,000.

The action went back to Montalban, who asked for a count and made a quick call once he received it.

Daniele Casino: Q♠Q♣ All in
Manel Montalban: K♥10♣

Montalban turned trip tens on 10♥A♠9♦10♦, with the 5♥ river being of no use to either player. Montalban expanded his huge stack even further while Casino had no choice but to head to the payout desk.

Level 33 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Stephen Barnes open-shoved his final 700,000 on the button, and Petre Ionescu made a quick call in the big blind.

Stephen Barnes: K♠7♠ All in
Petre Ionescu: Q♠Q♣

Barnes hit top pair on the K♣J♣10♣ flop, but Ionescu had plenty of outs to contend with. The A♠ turn was one of them, making him a straight. The 5♦ river did not chop up the pot, seeing Barnes leave in 15th place.

Level 33 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Petre Ionescu raised his button to 260,000 and was called by Salvatore Russo in the big blind. Russo then led out for 250,000 on the 5♦3♠2♥ flop, which Ionescu called after using a time bank.

The Q♥ turn saw Russo size up to 375,000. Ionescu made another call, seeing Russo shove all in on the 10♠ river.

Ionescu's stack of 2,300,000 was covered, and he folded after some thinking time. Russo flipped over K♦7♦ for a pure bluff as he stacked up his newly aquired chips.

Giorgio Soceanu had gotten his 1,830,000 chips in preflop from the hijack and was up against Andreas Putz on the button.

Giorgio Soceanu: A♥J♦ All in
Andreas Putz: K♥K♦

Soceanu celebrated loudly as the 7♣5♣2♦A♦ hit the turn. The 6♠ river did not see Putz rebink, as his kings were cracked by Soceanu's ace-jack.

Level 32 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Stephen Barnes raised to 200,000 in the cutoff and saw Gaspare Sposato call in the big blind. The 4♥7♠2♠ flop checked to the 9♠ turn, where Sposato led out for 275,000.

Barnes put in a call, and the 9♦ river completed the board. Sposato put in a hefty bet of 1,025,000, sending Barnes into the tank. After one time extension, Barnes flicked in a calling chip.

Sposato showed 9♣2♣ for a full house. Barnes took one final look at his cards before tossing them in the muck and admitting his defeat.

Level 32 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Christopher Day raised to 215,000 in early position and was three-bet to 600,000 by his neighbor Friedrich Raez. It folded back to Day, who put in his stack of 2,235,000 for an all-in bet.

Raez asked for a count, mulled thing over, and made the call.

Christopher Day: A♦K♣ All in
Friedrich Raez: J♠9♠

Day's ace-high remained best on the 6♣10♣2♦ flop and 2♥ turn, but the 9♥ river paired up Raez for the checkmark.

Day stood up and walked away from the table in disbelief before returning to say his goodbyes as he departed in 16th place.

Darius Neagoe: 10♠10♣ All in
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.

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

Petre Ionescu raised his button to 160,000. Big blind Davide Castellani then shoved all in for 700,000, being snap-called by Ionescu.

Davide Castellani: 10♥10♣ All in
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.

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.

Kajetan Masiewicz committed his final 1,000,000 from middle position. It folded to Stephen Barnes in the big blind, who snap-called once he saw his cards.

Kajetan Masiewicz: Q♠J♠ All in
Stephen Barnes: A♠A♣

The 4♣8♠7♦3♠ turn provided a sweat with a flush draw for Masiewicz, but the 7♣ river bricked off. Barnes' aces held and eliminated Spin & Go specialist Masiewicz in 20th place.
