Cristian David Eliminated in 11th Place (€14,474)

Livello 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Cristian David moved all in for 2,025,000 in the cutoff and Alessandro Predaroli called in the small blind. Julien Loire then reshoved in the big blind and Predaroli folded.

Cristian David: 8♦8♥
Julien Loire: A♥A♠

"Unbelievable," David said in disgust upon seeing Loire's aces. The flop came A♣6♣4♥ and Loire made top set to leave David drawing incredibly thin to avoid elimination.

The board ran out Q♥2♦ and David was eliminated in 11th place. Predaroli then told Loire he folded ace-ten, indicating Loire had hit the last ace in the deck.

"And I flopped a set," Loire said.

Xhavit Berisha opened to 700,000 from under the gun. Stefan Fabian moved all in for 5,000,000 from the small blind. Samuel Stranak was forced all in from the big blind.

Samuel Stranak: Q♦5♠
Stefan Fabian: J♦J♣
Xhavit Berisha: K♦K♣

Berisha was the favorite to seal the double bust out, and that's exactly what happened as his kings remained best following the 7♣8♦2♦4♦A♠ runout.

Livello 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: 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.

Andrej Desset jammed for 1,700,000 from the button. Vadzim Lipauka reshoved for 2,100,000 from the small blind. Gianluca Gallo folded his pocket fives in the big blind.

Andrej Desset: A♥9♦
Vadzim Lipauka: A♦J♥

The J♦10♣5♣ flop was terrible for Desset. The 5♥ turn confirmed his elimination and the 8♥ completed the board.
