Level 26 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Luca Bartolacci had gotten his stack of 595,000 in from the small blind against Besnik Lalinovci on the button and was at risk.

Luca Bartolacci: A♣J♣ All in
Besnik Lalinovci: A♠7♠

The 3♥10♥Q♣J♦ turn left Lalinovci drawing to a chop, which the 4♠ river did not prove. Bartolacci celebrated his double-up loudly while Lalinovci calmly paid his dues to his neighbor.

At another table, Petre Ionescu was spotted with piles of chips, seemingly leading the field.

Level 26 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Yossi Maymon had gone all-in for 650,000 from middle position and was called by Alessandro Giordano in the cutoff.

Yossi Maymon: A♥K♦ All in
Alessandro Giordano: 10♥10♣

The 6♣7♠10♠ flop provided Maymon with little hope as Giordano made a set. The J♣ provided a sweat, but Maymon's gutshot bricked on the 4♦ river, sending him home.

Level 26 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Gaspare Sposato raised to 50,000 on the button. Christopher Day put in a three-bet to 180,000 from the small blind, after which Luca Pitruzzella called all-in from the big blind for exactly that amount.

Sposato also came along to the 2♦A♣3♦ flop, which Day and Sposato checked through. The Q♦ turn followed a similar recipe until Day bet 255,000 on the 9♣ turn.

Sposato made a quick fold, and Day tabled 5♦4♦ for a flush. Pitruzzella had to table his A♠K♥ before he left the tournament area to pick up his payout.

Level 26 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Arriving on the 6♦2♣K♥5♣ turn with around 260,000 in the middle, Vincenzo D'Agostino checked from the small blind to Axel Tambolla in middle position.

Tambolla tossed in his stack of 215,000, which D'Agostino called after one time extension.

Axel Tambolla: 10♠10♦ All in
Vincenzo D'Agostino: J♦J♣

D'Agostino had the higher pocket pair, holding a big lead. The A♥ river did not bring Tambolla his desired ten, knocking him out of the tournament.

Giulio Astarita: A♣Q♠ All in
Christopher Day: A♥K♠

Day dominated Astarita and made trips on the 7♣2♠K♣K♥8♣ runout to leave his opponent drawing dead on the turn.

Level 26 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Giorgio Soceanu opened to 50,000 in the hijack. Vincenzo D'Agostino put in a three-bet to 130,000 on the hijack, which Soceanu called.

Soceanu then led on the A♠K♠10♣ flop, putting D'Agostino all-in for 295,000. D'Agostina made an immediate call, and the cards were flipped up.

Vincenzo D'Agostino: K♦K♣ All in
Giorgio Soceanu: A♣5♣

D'Agostino's set had Soceanu's pair drawing dead on the 8♥ turn. The 6♥ river did not matter anymore as D'Agostino raked in a full double-up.

Level 25 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Friedrich Raez had opened from the cutoff and Alessandro Giordano had defended his big blind when a flop of 2♠5♦5♣ was fanned. Raez continued for 55,000, which Giordano check-raised to 150,000.

Raez bumped it up to 380,000, which Giordano called. The 4♦ turn was checked through to the J♠ river, where Giordano tossed in 500,000 chips. Raez snap-folded, and the sizable pot was shipped to Giordano.
