Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Joakim Andersson bet 240,000 from early position and was met with a shove from Jacopo Achille in the big blind for 940,000. The chip leader made the call after a minute of deliberation.

Jacopo Achille: A♣K♠
Joakim Andersson: K♦J♠

Achille was a strong favorite to double up, especially after the 8♦6♥2♦. But Andersson went runner-runner when the 3♦Q♦ was tabled to give the Swede a flush and send Achille to the pay cage.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Agostino Scozzari open-shoved from middle position for roughly 3,000,000 and Samantha Algeri called off with her stack of 850,000, putting herself at risk in the process.

Samantha Algeri: J♠J♦
Agostino Scozzari: A♣5♣

Algeri was a favorite to double up preflop but the K♠4♥2♦ flop did give Scozzari a few more outs in the form of a gutshot straight draw. Algeri remained ahead on the 4♣ turn and Q♣ river to secure a full double up at Scozzari's expense.

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Agostino Scozzari opened to 320,000 from the hijack and Bruno Desimoni called from the button.

Both players checked the A♥5♥4♦ flop leading to the 4♦ turn. Desimoni check-called a 250,000 bet from Scozzari.

On the J♦ river both players checked. Scozzari showed down K♦5♠ for two pair, fives and fours while Desimoni tabled 10♠10♦ for two pair, tens and fours to take the pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Bruno Desimoni bet 200,000 from early position. Miguel Abad moved all in from the big blind for 280,000 and was called by Desimoni.

Miguel Abad: A♣Q♦
Bruno Desimoni: Q♠9♠

Abad was dominating Desimoni preflop, but it would all change on the J♦10♣9♣ flop to give Desimoni a pair of nines. Abad needed an ace or a king to win and an eight would have been a chop. But the 10♥4♣ completed the board to send the Spaniard out in eighth place.
