Zoufri Suffers A Brutal Beat

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Hakim Zoufri raised to 6,000 on the button, Erik Ladanyi three-bet shoved around 67,000 from the small blind and Zoufri snap-called. Ladanyi had {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} but was crushed against Zoufri's {A-}{A-} but two jacks fell on the flop to give the Hungarian the miracle escape.

Speranza Drags A Monster

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Gianluca Speranza
Gianluca Speranza

Gianluca Speranza limped from the small blind, Asher Dahan raised from the big blind and Speranza called. The flop was {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Speranza checked. Dahan bet, Speranza check-raised, and Dahan three-bet shoved for around 200,000.

The massive shove got called off by Speranza to create the biggest pot of the tournament by far.

Asher Dahan: {9-}{4-}
Gianluca Speranza: {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Speranza was ahead with the flopped flush and needed to dodge the nines and the fours to claim the chip lead. The turn and river remained safe for him and he soared to over 400k.
