Patrick White Eliminated in 23rd Place (€7,250)
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Francesco Zappala made it 400,000 from under the gun and only Patrick White called out of the big blind.
The dealer fanned out a flop of 9♠2♥K♦ and White knuckled the action over to Zappala, and Zappala bet 250,000. White stuck around in the form of a call.
A 4♥ fell on the turn and White checked again. Zappala bet 575,000, and after a few moments, White check-jammed for 2,500,000. Zappala instantly called.
Patrick White: 8♦6♦ 
Francesco Zappala: K♥K♠
Zappala had the nuts with a top set of kings, while White had eight-high for nothing and was drawing dead. A 5♠ completed the board, and White swiftly headed to the exit as the first elimination of the day.
