David Salituro

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

Andreas Goeller limped in from the small blind, Elia Salerno raised to 35,000 in the big blind, and Goeller called.

The flop came J♠5♠6♠ and Salerno bet 17,000. Goeller called and the 9♦ fell on the turn.

Salerno then bet 52,000 and Goeller again called. The river was the 9♠ and Goeller led out for 120,000. Salerno instantly folded, and Goeller showed 6♥2♥ as he took the pot.

At another table, Traian Stanciu was all in for 120,000 from the cutoff and up against Grzegorz Flak in the big blind.

Traian Stanciu: A♠Q♥ All in
Grzegorz Flak: K♣Q♦

Flak came from behind to take the lead on the K♠J♣4♠ flop with a pair of kings, while the turn was the 2♣. The 10♥ river improved Stanciu to a straight, and he doubled up.

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.

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

Grzegorz Flak made it 20,000 from the cutoff and Stanislav Koleno was the only caller out of the big blind.

Koleno check-called a bet of 15,000 from Flak on the A♥K♥10♦ flop.

The turn came the Q♦ and Koleno check-called another bet from Flak, this time for 40,000.

A 8♣ completed the board and Koleno checked for the last time. Flak fired a third barrel of 80,000, and after a few moments, Koleno announced raise. Flak snap-folded and the pot headed over to Koleno.

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

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♥

Seelentag was lying in wait with his queens, and Barulia didn't improve behind a pair of tens on the 10♠6♣2♣8♣7♠ board as he was sent to the rail.

"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.

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

Heads-up on a flop of 10♦10♠8♣, Alessandro Pichierri bet 15,000 from the button and Jan Bednar raised to 55,000 in the big blind. Pichierri called and the A♦ fell on the turn.

At another table, Pascal Pflock had shoved for his last 80,000 from the button and Elia Salerno called in the small blind.

Pascal Pflock: 3♣3♦ All in
Elia Salerno: K♦10♦

Salerno hit top pair on the K♥8♠J♠ flop, while the rest of the board came 2♦Q♥ and Pflock was eliminated.
