Enrico Campanile was raking in a big pot and stacking a mountain of chips, having just eliminated an opponent.
Campanile recounted that he had a full house with pocket queens and his opponent had ace-high by the river.
Around 32,000 was in the middle already on a board of 8♣4♣2♠J♠ in a hand between Mirko Numerato under the gun and Paul Daragon in the big blind.
Daragon checked and Numerato moved all-in for around 34,000. Daragon went deep into the tank, eyeing his opponent for at least two minutes, before finally sending his hand into the muck.
Around 25,000 was in the middle on a board of A♠K♠10♣, and Eric Abbas slid out a bet of 10,000 from under the gun, leading to folds from two opponents, but a call from Tal Sardal in the big blind.
On the 2♠ turn, Sardal check-called a bet of 16,000 from Abbas.
The 6♥ river completed the board, and Sardal check-called versus a bet of 13,000 from Abbas. Abbas showed A♦K♣ for top two pair, while Sardal had K♥10♦ for a worse two pair.

Action folded to Wim Verhaegen on the button, who opened to 3,000. Romain Le Dantec was in the small blind, and he reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 11,500. After some thought, Verhaegen called.
On the K♦5♥Q♣ flop, Le Dantec continued with a bet of 8,000, which Verhaegen called.
The A♥ rolled off on the river, and Le Dantec continued with the aggression, firing out a bet of 15,500. Verhaegen again made the call.
The 10♦ river completed the board, bringing one-card straight possibilities. Le Dantec slowed down and checked to his opponent. Verhaegen promptly moved all in for around 40,000, and after a brief period of thought, Le Dantec made the call.
Verhaegen showed Q♦5♦ for the flopped two pair queens and fives, but Le Dantec had A♠Q♠ for the higher turned two pair, aces and queens.
Action folded to Karem Laouini on the button, who opened to 3,000. Luigi Minolfi defended his big blind.
The K♦K♥2♥ flop was checked through by all players.
On the 4♠ turn, Minolfi checked and Laouini slid out a bet of 2,300. Minolfi took some time to think before check-raising to 10,500. Laouini considered the spot for a bit before sending his hand to the muck.
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Andre Gudej at risk versus Omar Lakhdari.
Andre Gudej: J♦9♦ 
Omar Lakhdari: A♠K♦
Gudej needed some help from the board, but none arrived on the A♥2♠5♦2♥4♥ runout, Lakhdari scooping the pot with a pair of aces.
Level: 8
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
Denis Karakashi opened to 2,200 in middle position and was faced with a three-bet to 6,200 from Silio Schifalacqua on the button. Action folded back to Karakashi, who called.
On the Q♥J♣J♥ flop, Karakashi check-folded versus a bet of 5,200 from Schifalacqua.
Around 15,000 was in the middle on a flop of 10♣9♦4♦ in a three-way pot between Shlomi Malka in the big blind, and Mhiri Chakib and Mario Adinolfi in early position.
Malka checked, Chakib slid out a bet of 5,000, and Adinolfi raised to 21,000. Malka then check-jammed for 32,200. Chakib folded and Adinolfi called.
Shlomi Malka: K♠J♥
Mario Adinolfi: 10♥8♥
Malka was behind, drawing to overcards or a queen for the straight, but the 2♣ turn and 2♥ river were both bricks, sending him to the rail.
