Level 27 : 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Vladas Burneikis was all-in for around 1,250,000 and at risk versus Luigi Pignataro.

Vladas Burneikis: 7♣7♦ All in
Luigi Pignataro: A♠Q♦

Burneikis was ahead in a race, and had a near lock on the hand after the 7♠4♦2♥ flop gave him top set and left Pignataro drawing thin.

The K♥ turn confirmed Pignataro was drawing dead and the A♥ river was irrelevant.

Gabriele Lepore Eliminated in 12th Place (€9,900)

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Gabriel Lepore opened to 200,00 under the gun and Anas Belatik defended his big blind.

On the 8♦9♥6♥ flop, Belatik check-jammed for 1,400,000 versus a bet of 250,000 from Lepore. Lepore made the snap call, slightly covering his opponent.

Anas Belatik: A♠8♣ All in
Gabriele Lepore: K♦K♠

Belatik was in trouble with second pair versus Lepore's overpair kings, but much to his opponent's disgust, the 8♥ rolled off on the turn to give Belatik trip eights and the 7♠ river confirmed his double-up.

Lepore was fuming and told Belatik his play was "so bad", and asked PokerNews to "make sure that's in the blog". Belatik responded saying "Yes, make sure you say he's a bad guy too".

Lepore was left with 250,000 and was in the big blind next, so only had 50,000 behind, and the chatter between the two continued.

Action was folded to Belatik in the small blind who raised to put Lepore all-in, with talk still going on, with Belatik going for the rubdown by asking Lepore how much he had left. Lepore, still raging, called.

Gabriele Lepore: J♣7♣ All in
Anas Belatik: 7♠6♦

Lepore again had his opponent dominated, but his mood was not improved by the 4♥8♥3♣6♥Q♣ runout, Belatik turning a pair of sixes to send Lepore to the rail.

Devid Berlin was all-in for 700,000 and at risk versus Traian Stanciu.

Devid Berlin: A♥Q♦ All in
Traian Stanciu: A♠K♠

Richard Hayes

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Priamo Carta opened to 210,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to 700,000 by Mohamed Mamouni on the button. Action folded back to Carta, who produced a four-bet to 2,250,000, earning a relatively swift fold from Mamouni.
