Level 31

The action reached Gerald Karlic on the button, and the chip leader pushed all in against two short stacks. One of them was Claudio Di Giacomo, who was in the big blind and called for his last 4,325,000.
Claudio Di Giacomo: A♠J♦ 
Gerald Karlic: K♣5♣
The 3♣2♣2♠ flop gave Karlic the flush draw to go with his two live cards. Nothing changed on the 10♠ turn, but the 7♣ on the river spelled the end for Di Giacomo in fifth place, having won his entry by taking down one of the many major tournaments throughout the year at King's Resort. For his efforts, the Italian earned a payday of €265,000.

First to act, Claudio Di Giacomo pushed all in for 3,400,000 with the A♦2♥ and won the blinds as well as big blind ante to claim an urgently needed boost for his severe short stack.
Daniel Pidun then opened to 625,000 with the K♠Q♦ in the hijack, and Gerald Karlic three-bet to 2,100,000 in the small blind holding the J♠10♥. Once it was back on Pidun, he quickly called to see the 7♥5♣4♦ flop. Karlic slowed down and checked. Pidun checked it back. The 9♠ followed on the turn, and Karlic bet 2,400,000 with his two overcards and gutshot straight draw. Pidun folded.

One hand after the double for Claudio Di Giacomo, Gerald Karlic raised to 650,000 from under the gun and instantly called the shove by Max Neugebauer in the big blind for 4,500,000 total.
Max Neugebauer: A♥3♣
Gerald Karlic: 9♥9♣
Neugebauer had the exact same cards as the Italian and needed to come from behind as well to stay in contention. He picked up the lower end of the straight draw on the 7♥6♠4♥ flop, but the 8♣ turn took away some of his outs.
Nothing changed on the 4♠ river, and that spelled the end for 2023 WSOP Europe Main Event champion Neugebauer in sixth place for €195,000.

Karlic opened to 650,000 in the hijack the next hand, and Claudio Di Giacomo moved all in for 1,325,000 on the button. Karlic called to put him at risk.
Claudio Di Giacomo: A♥3♣
Gerald Karlic: A♦8♥
The A♣K♣6♣ flop gave both players top pair, while Di Giacomo also picked up a flush draw. The 5♠ turn kept Karlic in the lead with his eight-kicker, but Di Giacomo hit the 9♣ on the river to make his flush and double up.
