Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Romain Locquet moved all in for less than the big blind from under the gun and Elia Salerno reraised on the button to chase away the rest of the field.

Romain Locquet: A♥3♦ All in
Elia Salerno: Q♣J♦

Locquet made two pair on the 7♦2♦4♣A♦3♠ board and he doubled up his short stack.

The next hand, Locquet was in the big blind and called for 35,000 when small blind Symeon Alexandridis shoved.

Romain Locquet: 7♠7♥ All in
Symeon Alexandridis: A♠9♠

The J♦8♣5♦ flop kept Locquet in the lead, while the 7♣ turn gave him a set. Alexandridis was looking to complete a straight draw to earn the knockout, but he missed the 9♥ river and Locquet doubled up yet again.

Elia Salerno raised to 20,000 in the hijack and Felix Seelentag called in the cutoff. Naum Barulia then moved all in for 77,000 on the button and Salerno folded, but Seelentag snap-called.

Naum Barulia: A♥10♥ All in
Felix Seelentag: Q♠Q♥

"Nice trap," Salerno told Seelentag.

"I was waiting for you," Seelentag replied.

Nicola Danselmo was also recently eliminated.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Romain Locquet made it 22,000 from the cutoff and only Felix Seelentag called to see a flop.

The dealer spread out a flop of 5♠Q♣8♠, and Seelentag knuckled the action over to Locquet, who bet 18,000. Seelentag flicked in the call.

A 9♠ on the turn prompted Seelentag to lead out for 38,000. Locquet gave it some thought and then settled on a fold, forfeiting the pot to Seelentag.
