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.

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

Andreas Putz had opened preflop, and Barnaba Perone and Kajetan Masiewicz had called in the blinds. The Q♦A♦8♣ flop was checked to Putz, who fired a bet of 220,000.

Both opponents called to the A♠ turn, which was checked around. Perone then bet 600,000 on the J♠ river, folding out Masiewicz. Putz used one time bank before raising to 2,500,000.

Perone used one clock extension of his own before making the fold, surrednering the pot to Putz.

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

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.
