Di Nicola Hits the River For Massive Double

David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 8♣6♠K♠7♦, Andreas Paleologos bet 400,000 from the button before Ermanno Di Nicola moved all in for 1,700,000 in the big blind.

Paleologos snap-called and turned over K♥7♥ for two pair. Di Nicola had 10♠8♠ for a pair and a flush draw.

Di Nicola stood up to await the river, which came the 2♠. "Yes," he cried out, completing his flush to double up in a 4,000,000 chip pot while decimating Paleologos' stack.

Miroslav Hula moved all in for 780,000 from early position. Gianluca Gallo raised from the button which quickly got rid of the blinds.

Miroslav Hula: A♥3♥
Gianluca Gallo: Q♦Q♠

Both players smashed the Q♣3♠3♦ flop but Gallo remained ahead with his full house. Hula improved to a boat on the A♣ turn but remained behind. Hula had three outs but the 10♣ river wasn't what he needed and he exited the tournament.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ercan Atmaca moved all in for around 650,000 under the gun and Michele Zullo called in the cutoff, having Atmaca barely covered.

Ercan Atmaca: A♠J♦
Michele Zullo: A♣K♠

Atmaca was dominated and couldn't improve on the 2♦5♦9♠9♥4♥ board as Zullo took the pot. Atmaca, who was contending for the chip lead at the last break, saw his tournament come to a sudden end.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stepan Khachaturyan raised to 175,000 from middle position, and he received a simple call, by Alexandr Dusco in the cutoff.

On a flop of J♠8♣10♥, Khachaturyan decided to check. Dusco then bet 140,000, and Khachaturyan called. He eventually check-called again on the turn 7♦ after Dusco fired a second barrel of 205,000.

But on the river J♥, Khachaturyan seemed very unhappy to fold because Dusco bet 305,000.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Andreas Paleologos moved all in for 970,000 under the gun, Ioannis Temekonidis reshoved next to act, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Andreas Paleologos: A♣5♣
Ioannis Temekonidis: A♠K♥

Paleologos was at risk and dominated heading to the 7♠6♠J♥ flop. The 4♠ turn gave him some hope with a straight draw, and he hit the 8♥ on the river to complete his straight and double up.

Alain Saka: A♣10♣

While holding his cards, Wendlandt asked for a heart. But he couldn't find any on 10♦5♣A♠3♦J♣ and was eliminated.

Radek Panoch moved all in for 595,000 from the small blind and Hertsel Levy called on the button.

Radek Panoch: J♠7♠
Hertsel Levy: K♠8♠

Panoch took the lead on the 9♣6♦J♥ flop with a pair of jacks. He remained in front on the 5♦ turn, while the 8♣ river arrived too late for Levy to avoid handing over a double up.
