Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Francesco Lo Faso had gone all in for 11,000 in the hijack. Mario Sarchioto rejammed for 30,600 on the button and was looked up by Fabio Bevilacoua in the small blind, who had both players covered.

Francesco Lo Faso: K♥Q♣ All in
Mario Sarchioto: J♥J♣ All in
Fabio Bevilacoua : A♠K♦

The board ran out Q♥4♦9♦5♦4♣. Lo Faso won the main pot with his pair of queens, while Sarchioto basically broke even as he scooped the side pot with his jacks.

Bevilacoua paid off his debts and was left with less than half a starting stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Francesco Lo Faso	34,000 23,000	23,000

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Emilio De Angelis opened to 1,100 under the gun. Mischa Peter called in the small blind before big blind Guido Pieraccini made it 4,500 to go.

Both De Angelis and Peter called to the 4♣6♦J♦ flop, where Pieraccini continued for 5,500. De Angelis quickly moved out of the way while Peter stuck in his stack of 14,500.

A quick call followed from Pieraccini, revealing the cards.

Mischa Peter: J♠J♥ All in
Guido Pieraccini: 9♥9♣

Pieraccini needed running nines against the set of Peter. The miracle did not come on the Q♣A♣ runout, and Peter doubled up instead.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ankit Ahuja, Antonino Parise, and Dmytro Yushevych went three-way to a flop of 6♦9♥7♣. Yushevych checked from the big blind to Ahuja in early position, who also knuckled the table.

Parise then piled in his stack of 13,400 for an all-in bet worth more than twice the pot. Yushevych raised all-in as well, folding out Ahuja and creating a showdown.

Antonino Parise: 7♠4♠ All in
Dmytro Yushevych: 8♠6♥

Parise had the better pair, but Yushevych rivered an eight on the 9♠8♦ runout to take the pot and send Parise to the rail.

Dmytro Yushevych	41,000 19,800	19,800

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Arriving on a flop of 4♠5♠5♥, Gabriele Patti checked from the hijack to Kevin Falk on the button. Falk fired 4,000 into the pot of 9,000, which Patti called.

The 3♣ turn saw Falk jam all in for 14,700, and Patti snap-called to showdown.

Kevin Falk: K♣5♣ All in
Gabriele Patti: A♥A♣

Patti could only shake his head as the 9♥ river gave Falk the checkmark. He paid what he owed and was left with just over 20 big blinds.

Kevin Falk	46,500 46,500	46,500

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ankit Ahuja raised to 1,200 under the gun and received two callers. It then folded to Dmytro Yushevych on the button, who squeezed in a three-bet to 6,600.

Ahuja put in a four-bet to 14,000, folding out the other two players. Yushevych, however, jammed all in. Ahuja called off his stack of 34,500, and the cards were tabled.

Ankit Ahuja: Q♦Q♣ All in
Dmytro Yushevych: A♠A♥

The 9♥K♦J♥ flop brought some extra outs for Ahuja, but he did not hit a set or a straight on the 4♦6♦ runout, sending him to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Johan Eklind had raised from middle position and called the subsequent three-bet to 6,000 Mattia Cimorelli had put in from the small blind.

Cimorelli then checked to Eklind on the 8♠9♠J♦ flop, seeing the Swede bet 2,800. Cimorelli tanked for a while before sending a tower of chips to the middle, putting Eklind all-in.

Eklind quickly called off his stack of 31,500, tabling the cards.

Johan Eklind: 8♥8♣ All in
Mattia Cimorelli: A♠7♠

Cimorelli's draws did not come in on the 2♣ turn or K♥ river. Eklind's set won him a big double-up, overtaking Cimorelli in the counts.

Player	Chips	Progress
Johan Eklind	76,000
