Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Sam Higgs
Sam Higgs

Sam Higgs was back down to 8,300,000 after giving up a pot where Stefano Schiano overbet shoved on the turn. In the next hand, Higgs shoved all of those remaining chips forward and Schiano called after a minute.

Sam Higgs: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Stefano Schiano: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board came down {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Higgs doubled up once more to get himself in striking distance of Schiano.

Mario Mosböck Eliminated in 3rd Place (€98,200)

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Mario Mosbock
Mario Mosbock

Stefano Schiano raised to 750,000 in the small blind, Mario Mosböck three-bet shoved 5,400,000 from the big blind and Schiano snap-called.

Mario Mosböck: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Stefano Schiano: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Both players had a monster for three-handed play with Schiano's kings way ahead. The {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} board would be the last board Mosböck would see in this tournament and his run ended in third place.

Romero Tank-Shoves, Tank-Folds

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Stefano Schiano raised first to act to 600,000, James Romero spent a few minutes in the tank before three-bet shoving a tad more than 8,000,000 from the small blind. Schiano quickly gave it up.

The next hand, Romero opened to 650,000 on the button and now Sam Higgs shoved, this time for 5,325,000 total. Romero once again thought for minutes before sliding his hand face-down in the muck.
