Gianmarco Kovari Bubbles PokerStars Open Campione Main Event

Frank Visser

Level 18 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Most of Gianmarco Kovari's chips had gone in preflop, as he had only had a single T-5,000 chip left with around 60,000 in the middle.

The flop read 5♦9♥8♦ when he was put all-in for his final chip by Borja Diaz. Kovari took his time to think things through but, surrounded by media and onlookers, ultimately made the call for his tournament life.

Gianmarco Kovari: A♥K♠ All in
Borja Diaz: J♦7♦

Kovari still had the best hand, but Diaz had a plethora of outs to choose from. The 3♦ turn gave Diaz the checkmark as he made his flush.

Kovari had no outs left to hit and officially bubbled the PSO Campione Main Event after the meaningless 6♥ river completed the board.

Milad Sheva open-jammed for 55,000 in the cutoff. Tiziano Di Romualdo called in the small blind, playing 1,000 less than his opponents.

Tiziano Di Romualdo: A♠J♣ All in
Milad Sheva: Q♠Q♦

The board ran out an inconsequential K♦6♠6♣3♠7♠. Di Romualdo was eliminated while Sheva doubled up to 24 big blinds.

Level 18 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Darius Neagoe opened to 10,000 and was three-bet to 27,000 by Francesco Fiore. Luigi Minolfi then shoved in his stack of 33,000.

Neagoe quickly mucked while Fiore tossed in the few required chips for a call.

Luigi Minolfi: A♦K♦ All in
Francesco Fiore: K♠K♥

Both players had monsters, but Fiore's cowboys remained best across the J♦5♠9♦8♥6♣ runout to eliminate Minolfi from the Main Event.

Cojaniz Not Happy After Tambolla's Call

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Davide Cojaniz had opened from early position when Axel Tambolla made it 43,000 in the small blind. Cojaniz then jammed all in for 136,000, sending Tambolla into the tank.

After about five minutes, the clock was called on Tamballo. Near the end of his countdown, he tossed in calling chips, and the players' holdings were revealed.

Davide Cojaniz: A♦K♦ All in
Axel Tambolla: Q♥Q♦

Cojaniz did not improve on the 2♠10♦10♣ flop or 5♥ turn. The Q♣ river upgraded Tambolla to a full house, securing the pot and knocking Cojaniz out.

Tambolla offered Cojaniz a fist bump, but the latter declined, accusing his opponent of slow-rolling.

The rest of the table also scolded Tambolla for taking his time, but Tambolla just laughed and disagreed with the sentiment as he stacked up the chips.

Level 19 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Lucjan Jankowski had committed his stack of 104,000 from early position and was looked up by Darius Neagoe in the small blind.

Lucjan Jankowski: J♦10♦ All in
Darius Neagoe: K♠K♣

Jankowski seemed to be in trouble against the cowboys of Neagoe, but the A♦J♠J♣ flop made him trips for a big lead. The 8♦2♦ runout improved him to a flush, doubling him up to just under 40 big blinds.

Player	Chips	Progress
Darius Neagoe	600,000 130,000	130,000

Lucjan Jankowski	220,000 58,200	58,200
