Fabrizio Ortolomo: K♥J♣ All in
Piotr Druzba: K♣K♠

Orotolomo was unlucky — his opponent woke up with a monster behind him and the A♦J♥8♣5♦8♥ runout confirmed his departure.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Carlos Egea extended his winning streak, having already claimed pots with A♣Qx and QxQx in previous hands.

The board ran out 2♦3♦2♠4♦6♣, giving Martin no assistance. He packed up, heading out with a prize of €5,320.
