Luca Pagano Gone
Luca Pagano moved his short stack all in from under the gun and a player in late position and the player in the small blind both made the call.

Pagano: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
LP: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
SB: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The board of {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Spades} gave Pagano trips but he was out-kicked and eliminated from today's event.
