Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Rachid El Yaacoubi opened to 125,000 from the button. Ermanno Di Nicola called in the big blind.

"Do you defend 100%" asked El Yaacoubi.

"Yes." Di Nicola replied.

"Ok thank you my friend" said El Yaacoubi.

Di Nicola checked the 3♦10♥5♥ flop before El Yaacoubi bet 200,000. Di Nicola then put in the check-raise to 550,000. El Yaacoubi then clicked it to 1,300,000. Undeterred, Di Nicola five-bet shoved all in and had El Yaacoubi covered.

He went into the tank for around four minutes pondering the biggest call of his tournament so far. Ultimately, he put the chips across the line.

Rachid El Yaacoubi: K♠10♠ All in
Ermanno Di Nicola: J♥8♥

El Yaacoubi was ahead but not for long as the 6♥ turn left him drawing dead. The 2♥ river added insult to injury. He tapped the table and wished his now former opponents good luck before departing the tournament area.

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded around to Ermanno Di Nicola in the small blind, who opted to limp. But Traian Stanciu in the big blind wasn’t about to let it go so easily—he raised the stakes to 100,000. Di Nicola wasn’t backing down, though, and answered with a three-bet to 335,000. Sensing his moment, Stanciu took a gamble and shoved all-in, only to be met with an instant call from Di Nicola.

Traian Stanciu: J♥J♦ All in
Ermanno Di Nicola: Q♠Q♦

Earlier in the tournament, Stanciu had pulled off some near-miraculous hands by hitting sets on the board, but this time, his luck had run dry. The board ran out 9♠8♠7♥9♦7♦, giving both players two pair, but Di Nicola’s queens held strong, sending Stanciu to the rail as Di Nicola claimed another pot.

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ermanno Di Nicola opened the action from under the gun, raising to 110,000. The hand seemed like just another round—until Amiel Gamliel, sitting in the big blind, decided to push back in a big way, shoving all-in.

Without hesitation, Di Nicola snap-called and confidently flipped over A♣Q♥. Gamliel, realizing his timing was off, shook his head and muttered, "Ah, wrong time," as he revealed his A♥8♠.

The flop came down with a queen right on top, showing Q♣2♥9♥, giving Di Nicola a commanding lead. The K♠ on the turn and the J♠ on the river sealed the deal, offering Gamliel no help as his tournament life came to an end. Di Nicola scooped the pot as Gamliel headed to the rail.

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Traian Stanciu opened from the button to 110,000. Axel Bayout reraised all in from the small blind and had Stanciu slightly covered.

Traian Stanciu: Q♠Q♦ All in
Axel Bayout: A♦8♠

Bayout couldn't spike an ace across the 7♠5♣5♣6♦J♣ and was left short.

The next hand, Ermanno Di Nicola opened from early position before Bayout put in his last 45,000. Amiel Gamliel called from the big blind.

Gamliel and Di Nicola checked the 9♠J♥5♥ flop before Gamliel checked again on the Q♥ turn. Di NIcola bet 100,000 and Gamliel folded.

Axel Bayout: A♣5♦ All in
Ermanno Di Nicola: A♦Q♣

The river bricked out for Bayout and Di Nicola claimed the pot and sent Bayout to the rail.

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Vincent Meli kicked off the action, raising to 100,000 from early position. Sitting on the button, Dohang Na wasn’t about to let that go unchallenged; he made a bold three-bet to 275,000. Meli took a moment to consider his options before deciding to go all-in, pushing his entire stack into the middle. Na, not missing a beat, quickly snap-called, clearly confident in his hand.

As the cards were revealed, the tension mounted. Meli showed A♥3♥, a hand that held some promise, but Na revealed A♠K♣, showcasing his dominant ace-king.

With the board laid out as 2♣9♣A♦A♣5♣, the board painted a dramatic picture. Na’s flush emerged, sealing Meli’s fate and sending him to the rail as Na scooped up the pot.

Level 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dohang Na opened from under the gun to 80,000. Action folded around to Amiel Gamliel who defended the big blind.

Gamliel check-called a bet of 9♦7♥Q♣ and check-called a 225,000 bet on the 3♠ turn. The 3♥ river brought another check from Gamliel and another bet from Na, this time for 400,000.

Gamliel went into the tank for just shy of a minute before calling.

Na tabled A♣A♥ for two pair. Gamliel mucked before remarking "that's a nice first hand" before tapping the table.
