Giuseppe Zarbo moved all in with K♣6♥ from under the gun and was called by all three of his opponents. Luchkou held A♣6♣, Stanciu 9♦7♥ and Carta Q♣5♥.
With action possible on the side, the J♦A♠9♣ flop was checked by all active players.
The 7♣ rolled off on the turn, and Stanciu bet 1,400,000 when Carta checked, which only Luchkou called.
The 10♦ river completed the board, and Stanciu fired again, putting out a bet of 550,000, getting Luchkou to fold the best hand.
Zarbo was shown the bad news that he could not beat Stanciu's pair of sevens, and he departed for the exit in fourth place.
On his way out he stopped to have a chat with PokerNews and confirmed he was happy with his performance, making it back-to-back final tables in this event.
He also proudly revealed his daughter, Alessia Zarbo, is representing France at the Paris 2024 Olympics in the 10,000m, so best of luck to her from everyone at PokerNews, and here's hoping she can go one better than her father and claim a place on the podium. Certainly no-one will be happier than him if she can.
