Alessandro Pichierri Eliminated in 3rd Place (£56,700)

Alessandro Pichierri raised to 300,000 from the button with 9♣7♣ and Atanas Pavlov called in the big blind with A♣3♣.

The flop came 5♣J♣6♦ to give both players a flush draw. Pavlov checked, Pichierri bet 400,000 and Pavlov called. Both players then checked it back on the 7♠ turn.

The river was the 10♣, completing both player's hands. Pavlov led for 325,000 with his ace high flush and Pichierri raised to 1,700,000 with his nine high flush. Pavlov pushed his stack into the middle, putting Pichierri in a nightmare situation and sending him into the tank.

Pichierri eventually made the call for all of his chips. Pavlov scooped the pot to bring his stack to over 18 million. Pichierri was eliminated from the tournament in third place for £56,700.
