Bartolacci Doubles, Ionescu Building Towers
Level 26
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Luca Bartolacci had gotten his stack of 595,000 in from the small blind against Besnik Lalinovci on the button and was at risk.
Luca Bartolacci: A♣J♣ 
Besnik Lalinovci: A♠7♠
The 3♥10♥Q♣J♦ turn left Lalinovci drawing to a chop, which the 4♠ river did not prove. Bartolacci celebrated his double-up loudly while Lalinovci calmly paid his dues to his neighbor.
At another table, Petre Ionescu was spotted with piles of chips, seemingly leading the field.
