In the last hand before the break, a three-way pot to the {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} turn saw Vivian Saliba all in and at risk with a short stack. Both Roberto Romanello and a third player called and checked the {K-Spades} river.

Saliba showed {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a set of fives while Romanello's {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for two pair on the turn improved to a straight. The third player briefly showed his cards, but Romanello ended up as the winner. According to the Welshman, he had previously bluffed away a big portion of his stack before he took most of Saliba's stack prior to the all in showdown.
