Demasi Finds Big River Call

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Simone Demasi
Simone Demasi

Simone Demasi opened to 60,000 from middle position, and was met with a three-bet to 135,000 from Flavius Vlasiu in the cutoff. Action folded back to Demasi, who called.

On the J105 flop, Demasi check-called in the face of a bet of 50,000 from Vlasiu.

The 9 turn was checked through to the A river, where Demasi checked once more. Vlasiu fired out a bet of 225,000, leaving himself only 5,000 behind.

Demasi took some time for thought, but ultimately flicked in a calling chip. Vlasiu tabled A2 for a pair of aces, but Demasi was good with 109 for two pair.

Vlasiu was left with crumbs, and busted a couple of hands later.

Calligaris Makes Huge Hero Call

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Giorgio Calligaris
Giorgio Calligaris

Giorgio Calligaris opened to 50,000 from early position, and received a call from Constantin Erhan on the button, before Marios Zervoudis reached for chips to three-bet to 215,000.

There was a bit of confusion as Zervoudis wanted to three-bet more, but made a double-motion with his chips. There was a roughly five-minute delay, while the floor was called and the action was debated. The floor ruled that the three-bet to 215,000 stood. Calligaris called but Erhan folded.

The K109 flop was checked through to the 10 turn, where Zervoudis fired out a bet of 180,000. Calligaris called.

The 4 river completed the board, and Zervoudis slid out a bet of 380,000. Calligaris didn't think for long before flicking in a calling chip.

Zervoudis hesitated to show his cards, and Calligaris immediately turned over 33 for two pair, tens and threes, and started celebrating before Zervoudis had even revealed his hand.

Zervoudis smiled, and mucked, sending a huge pot to Calligaris.

Lie Licks Peralta

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Morten Lie
Morten Lie

Eugenio Peralta had opened large from the button, leaving himself not much behind, and had to call off versus a jam from Morten Lie in the small blind, although it was clear from the look on his face he didn't like the spot.

Eugenio Peralta: 33 All in
Morten Lie: 1010

Peralta was crushed and he couldn't find a two-outer on the AK9Q2 runout. "Close", smiled Peralta as the river hit, as he gave Lie a fist bump before departing the table.

Nieto Annihilates Andrusiak

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Mykyta Andrusiak
Mykyta Andrusiak

Action folded to Fernando Nieto in the small blind, who jammed on Mykyta Andrusiak with the covering stack, and Andrusiak snap-called for his stack of 1,000,000.

Mykyta Andrusiak: 77 All in
Fernando Nieto: AQ

Andrusiak was ahead in a race, but the ace was in the window on the AJ5 flop, and he could not find a two-outer from there, the 35 turn and river completing the runout.

Istvan Varga and Mo Xu were also seen vacating the tournament area having busted.

Davis Harari was all-in for 900,000 and at risk against Aiguo Xu.

Aiguo Xu
Aiguo Xu

Aiguo Xu was all-in for around 120,000 and at risk against Mateusz Jablonski.

Aiguo Xu: K10 All in
Mateusz Jablonski: KQ

Xu was dominated and Jablonski's kicker played as both players made trip kings across the K86JK runout.

Chatterbox Fehmi Cherif, who had been a polarizing presence at the tables, some players seeming to enjoy his banter, others not so much, was also seen exiting the tournament area.

Speranza Sends Heredia Packing

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Gianluca Speranza
Gianluca Speranza

Luis Heredia was all-in for 1,200,000 and at risk against Gianluca Speranza.

Luis Heredia: 1010 All in
Gianluca Speranza: AJ

It was a fair fight, but not after the flop came AJ5, and Heredia was drawing dead after the A turn gave Speranza a full house, the 3 river completing the board.

Heredia looked devastated at the runout, and wished the table good luck before leaving.
