Matteo Decarli raised to 500 in early position. Igor Saia bumped it up to 1,400 in the next seat over, which Decarli called once the action had folded back to him.
Both players checked the 8♣Q♥9♣ flop to the 7♥ turn, where Decarli bombed 3,300 chips in the middle. Saia made the call, seeing the 9♠ appear on the river.
Decarli placed another sizable bet, this time of 8,000. Saia grabbed calling chips and tossed them in the pot, but quickly mucked his hand when Decarli tabled 7♠7♣ for a set.
Eugenio Peralta and Stefano Latini had created a pot of 5,500 when they went to a turn of 8♠3♣6♥7♦. Peralta made a bet of 4,000, which Latini quickly called.
The 7♣ river then fell, on which Peralta fired 15,000 chips in the pot. Latini wasted little time before putting in a call.
Peralta could only show K♥5♥ for king-high. Latini took the pot with J♠J♥ for an overpair and expanded his big stack even more.
A completed board of J♦4♦2♠10♣10♠ was in the middle between Felix Seidel in the big blind and Gianluca Cammarata in the hijack, along with a pot of 16,000 chips.
Seidel then made a bet of 4,000, which Cammarata raised all-in to 22,400. Seidel snap-called and tabled J♣10♦ for a full house.
Cammarata also played a full house with 2♦2♣, but it was not enough to take the pot, and he exited instead.
Six players went to a flop of 8♠10♦2♠. It then checked to Gil Yacobi in the hijack, who put in a bet of 2,000.
He received calls from Maor Zaharagi in the small blind and Vivian Saliba in middle position, while the rest of the players folded their hands.
Yacobi shoved all in for 7,900 when the 6♥ turn checked to him again. Zaharagi quickly got out of the way, and Saliba followed suit after spending a minute or so in the tank.
The recently doubled Alessandro Lucini raised his small blind to 600 and was called by Liron Zenou in the big blind. Lucini placed a sizable bet of 1,600 on the 7♠8♠4♥ flop, which Zenou called.
Lucini then sized up to 2,600 on the A♦ turn but was raised to 6,000 by Zenou. In response, Lucini tossed in his stack of 17,000 and was quickly looked up by his neighbor.
Alessandro Lucini: 9♥9♦
Liron Zenou: 7♥7♣
Lucini need a nine to stay alive, but the river brought the 10♣ instead, eliminating him from the Main Event.
