Yang Runs Kings Into Aces to Set Up the Bubble

Livello 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Guodong Yang was already all in for around 150,000 as Martino Cito and Michele Fratini built a side pot on a flop of 5♠3♦9♣. Fratini then moved all in for 500,000 in middle position.

Yang began posing for photos as Cito tanked for a minute before mucking, later saying he had two jacks. Yang and Fratini waited for other tables to finish their hands before turning over their cards.

Guodong Yang: K♠K♥
Michele Fratini: A♠A♣

Yang had run into the ultimate cooler as the board ran out 9♦6♣ to send him out two spots off the money.

Play is now going hand-for-hand until there is one more elimination.

Full Over Flush for Krause

Livello 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Cards went on their backs preflop between Rene Heinricher, at risk with approximately 165,000 chips in middle position, and Andreas Krause in the big blind.

Rene Heinricher: A♥8♠
Andreas Krause: K♦K♣

Heinricher's chair felt as he stood up on the flop 9♠K♠6♠, which gave him a flush draw but handed a set to Krause. Then the Q♣ on the turn didn't change anything.

"Yes!" finally shouted Heinricher when a fourth spade landed on the river. However, he didn't realize that it was the Q♠, which improved Krause's set into a full house.

When he finally realized he lost, Heinricher left the tournament area as he was eliminated.

Cooler Sends Casaburi Out

Livello 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Michele Fratini opened to 36,000 from the hijack and was called by Michele Casaburi in the cutoff.

Fratini continued for 42,000 on the K♠9♥Q♣ flop and Casaburi called.

The 8♠ fell on the turn and Fratini checked, prompting a 56,000 bet from Casaburi. Fratini then check-raised enough to put Casaburi all in for his last 150,000 and Casaburi quickly called to be put at risk.

Michele Casaburi: K♦K♣
Michele Fratini: J♥10♦

It was a slowplay gone wrong as Casaburi's set had run into the flopped straight of Fratini.

The J♦ river failed to improve Casaburi and he was sent to the rail.

Touri Whiffs Everything Against Felicetti

Livello 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of A♥2♣K♥, Yunho Choi bet 35,000 from middle position and Adil Touri raised to 80,000 in the hijack.

Roberto Felicetti then slid forward a stack of the green 25,000 chips for a bet of 500,000, covering the remaining stack of both Choi and Touri. Choi gave the decision some thought before mucking after a minute. Touri, though, called for his last 250,000.

Adil Touri: Q♥J♥
Roberto Felicetti: A♣Q♣

Felicetti had top pair, while Touri had a royal flush draw. The board ran out 5♠5♣ and Touri missed all of his outs as Felicetti loudly clapped his hands together in celebration while Touri made his exit.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Roberto Felicetti	850,000 413,000	413,000

Robert Fluereci: A♣Q♥
Fabio Anobile: J♦10♥

Fluereci stayed in front on the 4♥3♦K♥ flop. The turn was the 8♥, but the J♣ fell on the river.

"Vamos," Anobile yelled out as he hit a pair of jacks on the river to send Fluereci to the rail.

Wheeler Picks Off Budac With a Set

Livello 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With around 150,000 in the middle on a board of J♠8♥3♦2♣, Stepan Budac bet 115,000 from the big blind before Jason Wheeler moved all in from early position.

Budac snap-called for around 200,000 more and turned over A♦A♣. Wheeler, though, had 8♦8♠ for a set and the 4♠ river sealed Budac's elimination as Wheeler moved past 2,000,000.

Aliaksandr Shylko and Manig Loeser were also recently eliminated.

Tsouloftas Eliminates Jobin

Livello 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Yannick Jobin shoved for a bit over 200,000 on the button. Action folded back around to Tsouloftas, who called to put Jobin at risk.

Yannick Jobin: A♥10♣
Georgios Tsouloftas: Q♣Q♥

The 7♠2♠9♦4♥J♠ runout kept Tsouloftas best with his ladies and Jobin was sent to the rail.
