In a classic blind versus blind showdown, Christian Schneider found himself in the small blind and decided it was time to make a bold move. He pushed all in, looking to put the pressure on his opponent. Without hesitation, Dohang Na in the big blind snap-called, a decision that quickly became clear once the cards were revealed. Na displayed a powerful hand with A♦K♠, while Schneider was left holding 10♦9♥.
As the dealer spread the board, the tension was palpable. The board ran out 5♠3♥4♥Q♠8♥, offering no help to Schneider’s hand and leaving him with nothing to work with. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to improve his position and ultimately found himself eliminated from the tournament.

Maria Lampropulos, sitting in the cutoff, decided to make her move by raising to 400,000, leaving herself with just 50,000 behind. Rachid El Yaacoubi, positioned on the button, didn’t take long to respond, pushing the action with a hefty raise to 2,000,000. With the pressure mounting, all eyes were on Lampropulos as she took a moment to think things over. After a tense tank, she ultimately made the call.
As the cards were revealed, Lampropulos showed A♦10♦, hoping for a miracle, while El Yaacoubi flipped over 8♦8♥, revealing he was holding a pocket pair. The flop came down Q♣Q♥3♥2♣4♠, and unfortunately for Lampropulos, the board didn’t provide any improvement to her hand. With no help from the board, she was eliminated from the tournament, finishing as the last woman standing.

In a tense showdown, Vladimir Troyanovskiy found himself in the small blind while Alberto Speranzoni was in the big blind, clinging to just a few chips. Recognizing the opportunity, Troyanovskiy pushed Speranzoni all-in, and Speranzoni quickly called.
At the reveal, Speranzoni showed J♠5♦, hoping for some magic, while Troyanovskiy turned over Q♠2♦. Speranzoni needed a little help from the board, but luck was not on his side. The dealer flipped over A♥K♦6♣K♣4♥, and Troyanovskiy's queen high held strong, sending Speranzoni packing from the tournament.

Giovanni Giudice found himself in the big blind with just 75,000 left.
With a hint of resignation, he said, “So here it goes. I’ll look at my cards, and it’s either all-in or I fold.”
Alberto Speranzoni, sitting in the small blind, casually replied, “Probably.”
After taking a moment, Giudice decided to call. Speranzoni then announced, “I have eight high, but I need to call,” and he made the call.

Alberto Speranzoni: 8♠3♠
The flop came down 8♥3♥K♦, giving Speranzoni two pair and putting Giudice in a tough spot. The turn was the 6♥, which sealed Giudice's fate. The river was the 3♣, completing Speranzoni’s full house and sending Giudice to the rail.
