Stefano Giarrusso was all in preflop for 109,100 and up against Alessandro Pennisi.
| Showdown |
Giarrusso:   |
Pennisi:   |
It was a coinflip and Giarrusso seemed a bit on edge. That uneasiness turned to disappointment when the flop fell 
and paired Pennisi, while the 
turn and 
river sent Giarrusso to the rail.
"Bye-bye," was all a dejected Giarrusso could say as he collected his things and made his exit.

After a running pocket nines into pocket queens a few moments prior, we caught up to find a short-stacked Szabolcs Mayer all in and at risk before the flop against the bigger stack of Artem Metalidi.
Metalidi: 
Mayer: 
Mayer found his miracle on the flop of 
, pairing his deuce and rocketing him into the lead. The turn, however, spelled disaster as the 
rolled off and paired Metalidi's free card as well. The 
sealed Mayer's fate and sent him home, while Metalidi's stack is now at about 345,000.

Alessandro Sarro found a nice spot to double up and a willing customer to aid him.
He opened from mid position and faced a three-bet from Szabolcs Mayer on the button. Sarro moved all in for 53,100 and Mayer snap called, and then said, "Oh my god" when he saw the hands.
Sarro: 
Mayer: 
The board ran 
.
With that lost Mayer edged towards the danger zone with the bubble fast approaching.

Justin Bonomo bet 17,000 from the hijack seat with the board reading 
and was called by Alexander Zayonts in middle position. Then Mirko Di Tunnariello on Bonomo's right shoved all in for 82,200 and after a minute or two Bonomo made the call. Zayonts folded and the two went for a showdown.
Showdown:
Bonomo: 
Tunnariello:
Bonomo's queen-kicker gave him the lead and Tunnariello needed one of the remaining tens to hit the board. Unfortunately for the Italian, the turn brought the 
while the river was the 
eliminating him from the event. Tunnariello shook his opponent's hand and left the tournament room.
