Level 35
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Elia Salerno limped in from the small blind and Alessandro Predaroli checked his option.
The flop came 2♠7♥3♠ and Predaroli bet 400,000. Salerno called and checked over to Predaroli again on the 4♥ turn.
Predaroli then bet another 600,000 and Salerno came back with an all-in shove for 3,400,000. Predaroli paused for a moment before calling.
Salerno had 6♥2♥ for a pair to go along with straight and flush draws, while Predaroli showed K♣7♦ for top pair. The river came the K♠ and Predaroli improved to two pair to send Salerno to the rail in 14th place.

Vadzim Lipauka raised to 2,400,000 in early position, leaving himself 400,000 back, and Alain Saka moved all in from the button. Lipauka tanked for a minute before sticking in his last chips.
Vadzim Lipauka: A♥Q♦
Alain Saka: A♠J♠
Lipauka had Saka dominated, but the 4♦J♣8♥ flop gave Saka the lead with a pair of jacks. The board ran out 9♥6♣ and Lipauka was eliminated in 15th place.

Ermanno Di Nicola moved all in for 1,625,000 on the button and Elia Salerno called in the big blind.
Ermanno Di Nicola: A♥J♦
Elia Salerno: 3♣3♦
Di Nicola's hopes appeared bleak after the 3♠Q♦8♦ flop gave Salerno a set. Di Nicola got up from his seat and was about to leave the tournament area as the dealer flipped over the 10♣ turn.
Di Nicola realized he picked up a straight draw and stayed behind to watch as the K♣ fell on the river to give him the straight. Salerno let out a loud groan and was still shaking his head several minutes later as Di Nicola miraculously stayed alive.

: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Samuel Stranak moved all in for 1,600,000 from early position and was called by Alain Saka from the big blind.
Samuel Stranak: K♦8♦
Alain Saka: K♣Q♠
Stranak failed to connect on the A♣7♦2♥ flop and 2♣ turn. But the A♦ river meant the pot was chopped.

: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Juuso Luokkanen moved all in for 1,625,000 in the cutoff and Cristian David called in the big blind.
Juuso Luokkanen: K♦K♣
Cristian David: 8♦8♥
Luokkanen had picked up kings and was a big favorite to double up as the board came 7♠A♣A♠K♠10♣, giving him a full house by the turn and leaving David paying him off.

Cristian David raised to 625,000 in early position before Elia Salerno three-bet to 1,650,000 in the hijack.
Alessandro Predaroli, in the cutoff, then moved all in for 6,200,000 and David quickly folded. Salerno, though, let out a deep sigh and shook his head as he leaned back in his chair agonizing over the decision.
A few minutes went by before he mucked J♣J♦.
