Catalin Diac Eliminated in 2nd Place (€58,200); Or Nezer Eliminated in 3rd Place (€42,800)
Or Nezer had dwindled down to just 925,000 after folding through several orbits before deciding to jam the button. Matteo Intiso quickly moved all in over the top from the small blind, and Catalin Diac went deep into the tank before eventually slamming in a call for his 4,200,000 stack.
Or Nezer: Q♠5♥
Catalin Diac: A♦6♣
Matteo Intiso: A♥10♣
Intiso held the best hand with ace-ten high, and if it held through the runout, he would secure his first WSOP bracelet.
All three players rose to their feet as the dealer spread the 3♠J♣K♥ flop. That board not only left Nezer without a pair but also meant a queen would now give Intiso a straight. The 4♦ on the turn changed nothing, and Intiso only needed a clean river to seal the victory.
The K♣ landed on the river, securing the pot for Intiso with ace-ten high.
With the shortest stack, Nezer was eliminated in third place, while Diac finished as the runner-up, leaving Intiso as the champion.
