When Antonino Venneri was finally eliminated it had to be at the hands of Xuan Liu. The two of them have been at each others poker throats all day with a series of all-ins and calls, but when the end did finally arrive it was under very peculiar circumstances.
Venneri, who had been moving his stack all-in for fun, limped into the pot from first position. It folded around to Francesco de Vivo in the small blind who smelled a rat and folded. Xuan Liu was in the big blind and she checked and we saw a flop.
Flop: 
Liu checked to Venneri and he quickly bet 100,000 and Liu called equally as quickly.
Turn: 
Another ace and exactly the same modus operandi as the flop. A quick 100,000 check-call by Liu.
River: 
Another pair but this time sevens. Liu moved all-in and Venneri snap-called with 
. Liu turned over 
to smash Venneri to pieces. The count was close but Liu just had the Italian covered and he was our 10th place finisher.
