A Gift from Tripodi
Level 7
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Right back from the break, Dylan Gessel busted with his 13 big blinds. Yannick Azzopardi had even less than that and three-bet shoved for 9,100 chips after a min-raise by Clement Tripodi. The latter tanked for a bit and then said "cadeau" when tossing in the chips. That translates to "gift" and it indeed turned out to be a gift for Azzopardi, who held 
.
Tripodi had two live cards with the 
but the short stack locked up the double after the turn of a 
board already.

Maisano Gets Shot Down
Level 7
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
The full betting action until the 
flop is unknown, but there were about 18,000 chips in the pot and Mirco Maisano from under the gun as well as Michal Kanarkiewicz from one seat over clashed. The player from Poland was all in and at risk for his last 32,700 with the 
while Maisano had one out left, holding the 
.
The 
river was of no help and suddenlym Maisano has less than starting stack remaining.

Csiszar Stacked
Level 7
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
The board was already completed, reading 
, and Alexandre Clar had checked with about 12,000 chips behind. Matyas Csiszar put him to the test in a bigger pot and the Frenchman eventually called it off before reluctantly showing his cards. It was obvious that he could not beat the 
of Csiszar, but as per the tournament rules on all in showdown, he had to table the .
Csiszar doesn't speak much English, but from what we understood he min-raised and called a three-bet preflop to 6,000 before then raising the turn big once he had made the straight. Clar was not willing to let go his second pair and the flush draw, leaving himself committed to the final shove.

Giangrasso in the Tank
Level 7
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
While Anthony Giangrasso tanked for a good three minutes and also did so before check-calling the 
for 6,000, about five players were sent to the rail. Among those were Paul Testud and Kanstantsin Kamenka, Giangrasso still tanked on the 
river.
He even carefully counted out his stack after taking off his sunglasses when being faced with a bet worth 11,000 by Bjoern Olav Boe, the Norwegian had just about the same amount of chips behind. Eventually Gilbert Diaz asked for time and that wish was granted, Giangrasso made the call after about 30 seconds. Boe showed him for a set and the Frenchman mucked instantly.

The Bloemsma Exit
Level 7
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
According to Peter Harkes, Wesley Bloemsma got it in with 
for top pair only to see Loic Francois look him up with pocket kings for the over pair in order to bust the Dutchman. Harkes himself was also not as fortunate, as he dropped about 30 big blinds compared to the last count we had on him after running into a flopped set that turned into a full house.

Level 7

river had completed the board. Francois ended up calling it off and then facing the for 7,100 more.

Shove at the Wrong Time
Level 7
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Passing by the table, we just overheard the "seat open table nine" and that referred to the exit of Dmitry Varlamov. As per table chat, the Russian four-bet jammed with for just over 20 big blinds and was called by Benjamin Vestergaard with the 
.
The 
flop was as dry as you can get with two live cards and an ace on the turn brought the tournament for the Unibet Open regular to an end.
