Claudio Di Giacomo Eliminated in 8th Place (CHF17,500)
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Angelo Arossi raised to 240,000 from the cutoff before Claudio Di Giacomo jammed his stack of 850,000 into the middle from the button. When it got back to Arossi, he called to put Di Giacomo at risk.
Claudio Di Giacomo: A♠10♠ 
Angelo Arossi: Q♣J♣
Di Giacomo came in as the shortest stack and now needed his ace-high to hold up, or he would be the first elimination of the final table.
The flop came down J♠2♣2♦, giving Arossi the lead with top pair.
Di Giacomo picked up a royal flush draw on the K♠ turn, but the board-pairing K♥ on the river was a brick, and Di Giacomo headed to the rail in eighth place.
