Salvatore Russo Eliminated in 5th Place (€95,190)
Level 36
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Salvatore Russo made it 525,000 on the button and was three-bet to 1,350,000 by Giorgio Soceanu in the big blind. Russo then put in his stack of 10,250,000, which Soceanu immediately called.
Salvatore Russo: 10♠10♥ 
Giorgio Soceanu: A♦J♦
Russo did not want to hit a set after the 5♠K♠Q♠ flop, but that is exactly what happened on the 10♦ turn. The A♥ river did not bring him quads or a flush, and he was consequently eliminated in fifth place.
Meanwhile, Soceanu's Broadway won him the huge flip, ending the hand as the new chipleader, playing over 100 big blinds.
