Xavier Carruggi Eliminated in 23rd Place (€20,000)

Massimiliano Martinez raised to 46,000 first into the pot, and he found a call from Xavier Carruggi, the two men going heads-up to the flop. It would end up being the last flop of Carruggi's day.

The dealer spread out {9-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}, and Martinez continued out with another 71,000. Carruggi raised to 175,000, Martinez shoved, and Carruggi called all in for about 500,000 total. It was a bit of a cooler.

Showdown
Martinez: {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Carruggi: {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts}

Carruggi needed to find both of the last two nines in the deck to stay alive, and that was quite the longshot. The turn {7-Clubs} ended any of those dreams, and the river {4-Spades} was meaningless.

Martinez will take that pot, and with it comes the elimination of Xavier Carruggi. The Day 2 chip leader has fallen in 23rd place, and Martinez recovers some of his earlier losses to improve back to about 1.325 million.
