Hissou Halts La Francesca's Momentum
Alessio La Francesca managed to double up and get a few shoves through, but that was in vain as he eventually busted.
First, Ioannis Angelou Konstas opened from under the gun and then called the shove of La Francesca, who moved all in for 133,000 from the hijack.
Alessio La Francesca: A♠A♣ 
Ioannis Angelou Konstas: Q♣7♣
The runout of 2♦9♥7♦4♠10♠ kept the aces of La Francesca in the lead, and he doubled up.
Not long after, La Francesca shoved the small blind for around 330,000, and Sirzat Hissou took his time before he called out of the big blind.
Alessio La Francesca: A♣7♥
Sirzat Hissou: K♦Q♥
"A big flip," said La Francesca, and it was him that stayed in the lead on the Q♦9♣A♥ flop as he paired his ace. However, Hissou made a pair, and improved to two pair on the K♠ turn, which left La Francesca drawing slim.
No help arrived on the 2♣ river, and La Francesca hit the rail.
