Ian Kostenko Eliminated in 12th Place (€4,035)
Ian Kostenko pushed all in from under the gun for 450,000, and Matthias Gude in the small blind called all in for 370,000. Elia Salerno, in the big blind, glanced at both severe short stacks and called to potentially claim two chances at pulling the last €12,500 Mystery Bounty.
Matthias Gude: A♥10♠ 
Ian Kostenko: A♠4♥
Elia Salerno: 8♥2♣
The board ran out Q♦10♦5♥J♠J♣ and Gude tripled up. Kostenko won the small side pot, but was forced all-in from the big blind in the very next hand regardless.
Antonio Fragale opened to 200,000 in the next hand, and Salerno called in the small blind. On the Q♣9♣4♣ flop, Salerno check-called for 105,000 before the two active players from Italy checked down the Q♦ turn and 5♣ river.
The 9♠6♠ for two pair of Salerno was no good, as Fragale had the K♦K♣ for the king-high flush. Kostenko's tournament ended in 12th place, as he couldn't beat either with his big blind holding of 10♦5♥.
