Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jon Kyte was first to act under the gun but before he performed his action Enrico Camosci announced a raise to 240,000. After getting the floor to confirm the ruling, it was deemed that if Kyte were to limp, then Camosci's raise would stand.

Kyte decided to limp under the gun and Camosci had to raise to 240,000. When it folded back around to Kyte he limp-shoved for 1,400,000, and Camosci snap-folded. Kyte showed JxJx as he pulled in the pot.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Enrico Camosci raised to 200,000 from the cutoff. Malcolm Franchi three-bet to 700,000 from the small blind with around 500,000 behind. Then, Markkos Ladev four-bet to 1,200,000 out of the small blind. Camosci folded but Franchi put the remainder of his stack across the line.

Malcolm Franchi: K♥J♥ All in
Markkos Ladev: 10♥10♦

The flop of 8♠K♦6♠ put Franchi ahead with a pair of kings. The A♣ turn and 7♠ didn't improve Ladev, and he had to send almost half of his chips over to Franchi.
