Galetta Gone After Min-Raise Against Nikitin Goes Wrong

Frank Visser

Level 28 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Andrii Nikitin had raised to 80,000 preflop, which Fabrizio Galetta clicked to 150,000. Nikitin made the call, and a flop of 4♠2♠5♠ fanned.

Galetta continued for 100,000, being check-raised to 250,000 by Nikitin. Galetta then pushed all in for 850,000 and was snapped off by Nikitin.

Fabrizio Galetta: A♠K♦ All in
Andrii Nikitin: Q♠7♠

Nikitin had flopped a flush after the good price he got preflop. Galetta could still win the pot if a fourth spade hit the board, but the deck had the 3♥ turn and 9♣ river in store instead.

Level 28 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Raffaele Bellapianta open-jammed in the hijack for 450,000. Francesco Legnaro committed his stack of 1,340,000 from the cutoff, and Harel Azulay called in the small blind, covering both.

Raffaele Bellapianta: A♦7♥ All in
Francesco Legnaro: A♠K♥ All in
Harel Azulay: Q♠Q♣

Azulay's queens remained ahead on the 4♣2♦6♦ flop, but the K♠ turn made Legnaro a higher pair for a big lead. The 6♥ river changed nothing, seeing Bellapianta bust while Lagnaro raked in a big double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Francesco Legnaro	3,210,000 2,025,000	2,025,000
Harel Azulay	300,000 40,000	40,000
Raffaele Bellapianta	Busted

Riccardo Ciccone: A♣J♥ All in
Jakub Sterba: A♦K♦

Level 29 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Salvatore Russo had raised preflop and Daniele Grasso had defended his big blind when the latter checked on the 6♦4♦9♣ flop. Russo continued for 160,000, which Grasso raised to 400,000.

Russo then put Grasso all-in for 1,200,000, and Grasso quickly called for his tournament life.

Daniele Grasso: 10♦7♦ All in
Salvatore Russo: 8♥8♦

The 9♥ turn removed Grasso's gutshot as Russo would make a full house, and the J♥ river was not a ten or diamond, leaving Grasso condemned to the rail.

Level 29 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Harel Azulay and Daniele Casino had created a pot of 250,000 blind-on-blind when Azulay shipped all in on the 7♦10♠K♠ flop for a pot-sized bet. Casino made a quick call, and the cards were tabled.

Harel Azulay: 7♣6♣ All in
Daniele Casino: K♥4♠

Casino had flopped the higher pair and even made two pair on the Q♠4♦ river to secure the pot and send Azulay home late on Day 3.
