Gianluca Cedolia opened to 420,000 from under the gun before Kamel Mokhammad defended his big blind.
The flop came 7♣K♥J♦ before Mokhammad bet 1,020,000. Cedolia went all-in for 1,780,000 and was called by Mokhammad to be at risk.
Gianluca Cedolia: A♦A♥K♠10♣7♦
Kamel Mokhammad: K♦K♣9♥5♥2♣
Cedolia was behind the set of kings, but still had some outs to improve with a gutshot to a straight and his overpair.
The Q♥ turn was just what he needed as he hit his straight, but Cedolia was not out of the woods yet, as Mokhammad could still improve.
The 3♣ river was of no consequence as Cedolia doubled up.
Action folded to Kamel Mokhammad in the small blind who limped in. Gianluca Cedolia checked his option in the big, and the two went off to a flop of K♠3♠J♣.
Mokhammad bet out for 120,000, and Cedolia put in the call. The Ukrainian didn't slow down on the 7♣ turn, as he bet out for 600,000. Cedolia took quite some time before putting in the call, and the river A♦ quickly checked through.
Mokhammad tabled K♣Q♣9♠4♠2♠ for a pair of kings, but he had been rivered as Cedolia had made a pair of aces with A♣10♠9♣4♥2♦ and scooped the pot.
Kamel Mokhammad raised to 350,000 from the hijack, which led to a call from Zachary Gruneberg on the button and Ravi Shankar from the small blind.
It checked to Gruneberg on the 8♣10♦J♣ flop, and he bet 550,000. Shankar shook his head and folded, but Mokhammad was still interested as he made the call.
It checked through the J♥ turn to bring the 5♣ river. Mokhammad put out a bet of 900,000.
Gruneberg made the call and found out the bad news when Mokhammad showed K♠10♥8♠8♦5♥ for eights full of jacks to drag in the chips.
Kamel Mokhammad opened the action with a raise to 300,000 from middle position. It folded round to big blind Bouwe Claushuis, who stuck in the call. Claushuis then potted the 3♣7♦10♦ flop, Mokhammad moved all in and Claushuis called.
Bouwe Claushuis: Q♦9♥8♦5♦3♠
Kamel Mokhammad: A♦Q♥8♣7♥3♦
Both players had flush draws, but Mokhammad's was to the nuts, and he wasted no time in hitting it as the K♦ turn sealed Claushuis' fate. The 8♥ river changed nothing, as Claushuis became the first to bust on the final day.
The first hand took place when Zachary Gruneberg opened to 350,000 from middle position and was calld by Hokyiu Lee in the cutoff and Kamel Mokhammad in the big blind.
It checked to Gruneberg on the 9♣2♣3♥ flop. Gruneberg continued for 600,000, which was enough to get folds out of both his opponents to take down the pot.
Gianluca Cedolia opened to 420,000 on the button on the next hand.
Ravi Shankar defended his big blind to take them to a 6♥A♦4♣ flop. Shankar checked before Cedolia went all-in for his remaining 600,000. Shankar did not think long before he made the fold as Cedolia chipped up.
Zachary Gruneberg raised to 350,000 from the hijack. Hokyiu Lee called on the button and Erick Mossinger came along with a call from the big blind.
The 9♠Q♥10♣ flop led to a round of checks.
It checked over to Mossinger on the 2♥ turn. Mossinger bet 1,200,000, which garnered folds from both his opponents to take down the pot.
Level: 29
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
Ravi Shankar open-potted to 350,000 on the button, with Bouwe Claushuis defending his big blind. He then moved all in on the 2♥5♣8♣ flop, and Shankar flicked in a chip.
Bouwe Claushuis: A♣K♦10♠5♥3♠
Ravi Shankar: A♥K♠9♣4♣3♦
Claushuis was ahead with a pair of fives, but still had some fading to do. The 5♠ turn meant he was anti-sweating a club, but he hit a full house on the A♠ river to ensure that he would secure a full double.
Kamel Mokhammad raised to 250,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ravi Shankar in the big blind.
Both players checked the J♠A♥J♦ flop to bring the 5♣ turn. Shankar fired 300,000 and was called by Mokhammad.
The Q♦ river led to a bet of 500,000 from Shankar. Mokhammad gave it some thought before he put in the call.
Shankar showed trips with J♥8♣6♠2♦2♠, but it was no good as Mokhammad fanned K♦Q♠J♣9♠6♥ for a full house to take down the pot.
