At another table, Salvatore Lavolpe was all in for 180,000 from the big blind and up against Andreas Loesche on the button.

Salvatore Lavolpe: 5♠5♣ All in
Andreas Loesche: A♠Q♥

Lavolpe was racing for his tournament life but quickly fell behind as the 10♠7♦A♦ flop gave Loesche top pair. The rest of the board ran out 3♦7♣ and Lavolpe headed to the payout desk.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Catalin Diac raised to 50,000 in the hijack and Steffen Kaschel called on the button. Ercan Atmaca then moved all in for 250,000 in the small blind and Dennis Voss put in his last 145,000 in the big blind.

While Diac was considering the decision, Salvatore Lavolpe began talking loudly on the phone which led Diac to angrily tell him to be quiet. Diac eventually folded, while Kaschel also laid down his hand.

Dennis Voss: 10♠10♣ All in
Ercan Atmaca: J♥9♥

The flop came 9♦3♥7♣ and Kaschel stormed out of his seat, saying he folded two threes. The J♦ turn gave Atmaca two pair, but the 8♠ river improved Voss to a straight and earned him the double up.

After the hand, Diac and Lavolpe shook hands and moved past their heated exchange.
