Matjaz Vogrinec raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Symeon Alexandridis called in the big blind. They then exchanged raises on the 10♠8♠5♠ flop until Alexandridis was all in for his last 450,000.

Symeon Alexandridis: A♠2♥ All in
Matjaz Vogrinec: 9♠7♠

Alexandridis had the nut flush draw, while Vogrinec had flopped a flush to leave Alexandridis at risk. The 7♥ turn didn't help Alexandridis, while the A♥ river wasn't enough as Alexandridis was sent to the rail.

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

Antonio Fragale three-bet to 150,000 and then called the shove by Ian Kostenko for 580,000 total to find himself in yet another dominated spot early into Day 2.

Ian Kostenko: A♣A♠ All in
Antonio Fragale: A♦K♥

The board ran out 8♣6♣3♦2♦2♥ and Kostenko doubled.

"Mistake by the dealer, she should have taken your cards," Josef Gulas pointed out as Fragale had apparently been back at his seat once the action was about to kick off.

Fragale then headed to the Bounty screen to redeem one of his chances and sure enough pulled the €75,000 top bounty, which triggered wild celebrations of his Italian friends.
