Curatolo Leaves Tantillo on the Brink

Livello 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Earlier Nolan Curatolo left himself with 1,000 chips, but failed to spin it up and has since reentered. Fausto Tantillo in the hijack bet 2,400 and Curatolo called on the button.

Both players checked the flop of K♥10♣2♣, but Tantillo bet 2,200 on the 7♣ turn which was called by Curatolo.

The 7♥ came on the river and Tantillo checked. Curatolo over-jammed for 26,500. Tantillo went into the tank for a couple of minutes before opting to call. Curtalo tabled K♣J♣ for a flush and Tantillo showed the 10♦ before mucking his hand.

Tantillo was left with 1,300 chips after the exchange. Can he spin up where his fellow countryman couldn't?

Anton Suarez: Q♠J♠
Stanislaw Miadzel: A♣K♣

Miadzel caught the best of the K♥6♠6♥ flop with two pair and remained ahead on the 8♦ turn and 8♠ river to score the knockout and take down a healthy pot.

Luigi Shehadeh: 8♣8♦
Joao Tomas: A♣Q♦

The board ran out J♠7♦6♠8♠6♣. Shehadeh had his opponent drawing dead on the turn and made eights full on the river to secure a full double up at Tomas' expense.

Saliba Finds a Non-Believer

Livello 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Nolan Curatolo opened to 1,500 from early position and Vivian Saliba three-bet to 4,500 from middle position. Curatolo made the call.

The flop came Q♣6♦4♥ and Nolan check-called a 3,000 continuation bet from Saliba.

Saliba bet again when checked to on the 8♠ turn, this time for 6,500. Curatolo made the call.

On the 8♥ river Curatolo checked once more and Saliba moved all in for 18,500, sending Curatolo into the tank.

"So strong" Curatolo commented.

"Looks strong, probably is strong" Saliba replied.

After a few minutes Saliba called the clock and, with five seconds remaining to act, Curatolo made the call, covering Saliba very slightly.

Curatolo showed down 6♥5♥ for two pair while Saliba tabled Q♥Q♦ for queens full of eights to secure a full double up while leaving Curatolo with just 400 chips.

Curatolo would bust and re-enter shortly afterwards.

Schemion Claims Gleissner's Bounty

Livello 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Jackub Pastrnak bet 1,600 from under the gun and was met with a 36,400 shove from Bernd Gleissner in the cutoff.

Ole Schemion in the small blind asked for a count of Gleissner's stack and assessed Pastrnak's chips. Schemion moved all in, which prompted Pastrnak to fold. Schemion said to Gleissner "I've got it!" and went to showdown.

Bernd Gleissner: A♦K♥
Ole Schemion: A♥A♣

Schemion must have been doing an internal happy dance when he saw Gleissner committing over 50 big blinds before he had chance to act. Gleissner made a pair of kings on the flop on the completed board of K♠Q♣2♦3♦5♣, but received no further help and handed his bounty chip to his compatriot.

Ole Schemion	83,000 83,000	83,000

Giudice Asks for All of It

Livello 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Baho Hosseini opened to 800 from early position and received calls from Vladimir Olesnan in middle position and Julien Sitbon in the hijack before Giovanni Giudice three-bet to 4,400 from the button. Hosseini called, Olesnan folded and Sitbon called.

The flop came 10♠5♦4♣ and action checked around to Giudice who fired a 5,500 continuation bet. Hosseini folded while Sitbon called.

On the 5♣ turn Sitbon lead out with a bet of 7,700. Giudice raised to 16,600 and Sitbon called.

The river was the J♥ and Sitbon lead out again, this time for 5,000. Giudice went into the tank for roughly two minutes before Sitbon called the clock. Shortly afterwards Giudice moved all in, covering Sitbon's remaining stack of approximately 15,000. Sitbon made the fold and Giudice took down a nice pot without showdown.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Giovanni Giudice	85,000 85,000	85,000

Kuzior Finishes the Job

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Samir Abid opened to 600 from under the gun and Kacper Kuzior three-bet to 3,000 from the next seat over, receiving calls from Alexandr Dusco in the hijack, Vaclav Jelinek in the big blind and Abid.

The flop came K♥7♣4♥. Jelinek checked, Abid checked, Kuzior bet 7,000, Dusco called and Jelinek moved all in for roughly a starting stack. Abid got out of the way while both Kuzior and Dusco moved all in, with Dusco covering all players.

Vaclav Jelinek: A♣7♠
Kacper Kuzior: A♥5♥
Alexandr Dusco: 3♥2♥

The rest of the board ran out J♦J♥. Kuzior had made an ace-high flush to claim Jelinek's bounty, secure more than a full triple up and leave Dusco with under ten big blinds.

The following hand, Dusco would get the last of his chips in preflop against Kuzior.

Alexandr Dusco:Q♠J♥
Kacper Kuzior: A♣7♦

"I have to finish the job" Kuzior joked as the flop was being dealt.

The board ran out K♦10♠7♣2♠5♠. Kuzior's pair of sevens were good at showdown and he secured a second bounty.

Adrian State: A♠K♠
Hen Rosilio: JxJx
Pierre Kauert: KxKx

Kauert was ahead with pocket kings and the board ran clean to secure a first hand triple up. State and Rosilio handed over their bounty chips and headed to the exit, but State has since reentered.
