We joined the action on a draw-heavy 
flop where Zeljko Krizan had bet 47,000 from the cutoff. To his direct left was Yordane Kerignard and he raised to 102,000. Krizan wasted little time in calling and it was off the the 
river.
Krizan now checked and Kerignard bet 400,000 putting Krizan all-in. Krizan sat back in his seat and said something that sounded a lot like an f-bomb before sitting forward again and putting his head in his hands. After one minute he folded angrily and asked if Kerignard had a straight, but as usual Kerignard remained silent.
Jonathan Roy has been eliminated in ninth place at the hands of the in-form Jackson Genovesi. Genovesi now has 1,300,000 after taking plenty of chips from Serkan Kurnaz and now the full stack of Roy
Genovesi opened to 22,000 under the gun and then called when Roy three-bet to 59,000 from the cutoff. The 
flop saw Genovesi check, Roy bet 44,000 and Genovesi check-raise to 92,000. Roy made the call.
The 
turn slowed both players down and they both checked however, the 
on the river saw Genovesi bet 400,000 which put Roy all in as he only had 220,000 behind.
Roy tanked for close to two minutes, his neck becoming more and more red with each passing second. Eventually he called and Genovsi turned over his hand. At first just the 
was visible but underneath it was the 
. Roy showed 
, stood from his chair and headed to the rail.

flop.
Krizan checked, Isaia bet 26,000 and only Genovesi made the call. The turn was the 
and now Isaia checked to his fellow countryman. Genovesi fired a bet of 37,000 and Isaialet out a large sigh as he passed his cards back to the dealer.

Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Alessio Isaia has bled a few chips in recent times, thanks in part to him calling three-bets out of position and then folding when he misses the flop; as shown in the example below.
Isaia opened to 17,000 in middle position and was facing a three-bet to 52,000 from Yorande Kerignard on the button. Isaia called and it was off to the 
flop. Isaia checked to Kerignard, who bet 26,000 and Isaia folded after a little huffing and puffing.
