Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

In the hijack, Nicola Pezzullo opened to 500,000, and he faced Sandro Jose Alves in the big blind.

Both of them checked on the 10♠J♠9♠ flop. But after Alves checked again on the turn 8♥, Pezzullo bet 500,000.

Alves quickly called A♣2♣ and let the pot going in Pezzullo's direction. And maybe the Italian player wanted to see the river, because he had a straight and a straight flush draw with K♦Q♠.

Puzzello is the first player of the tournament to reach 10,000,000 chips.

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Igor Picone raised to 400,000 from early position, then everybody folded to Antoine Delorme in the small blind who shoved for 2,800,000. The big blind folded, and Picone called.

Igor Picone: 10♠10♣

Down to three blinds, Picone shoved on the next hand but nobody called.

Moments later, he called from the big blind after Nicola Pezzullo opened from the hijack. Then on a flop of 6♣8♣8♠, Picone shoved directly for 675,000 and Pezzullo called.

Igor Picone: 9♥5♥
Nicola Pezzullo: A♦5♠

Picone's gunshot wasn't completed by the turn Q♣ and the river 8♥. Eliminated in 9th place, he wins 275,000 MAD.
