Bellini Left with Crumbs, While Astarita Doubles

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Giulio Astarita moved all in from the small blind for 1,780,000 and was called by Giovanni Bellini who just covered.

Giulio Astarita: A?5?
Giovanni Bellini: A?4?

Statistically, it looked like a chop was the likely outcome, but Astartia paired his dangler on the J?6?5?Q?6? board to get the double-up and left Bellini in the danger zone.

Rafael Anera Ruiz bet 300,000 from the button and was called by Pia Fransson in the small blind.

Artus Gimenez moved all in from the big blind putting his two opponents at risk. Ruiz folded, but Fransson made the call.

Pia Fransson: 9?9?
Artus Gimenez: K?7?

It was looking rosy for Fransson after the Q?10?3? flop and 8? turn. However disaster struck on the K? river as he hits his three-outer to eliminate the Swede and now has over half of the chips in play.

It was a fair fight and Fransson completed a double up after a clean runout of A?6?4?2?Q?.

Guido Pieraccini raised to 250,000 from under the gun. Artus Gimenez in the small blind raised to 1,960,000.

Pieraccini went into the tank and decided not to continue with his hand. Giminez now has over 9,000,000 more chips than his nearest rival Pieraccini.

After the elimination of Jordy Vleugels, we are now down to the unofficial final table.

All the chips went into the middle preflop with Belgian Jordy Vleugels at risk in the big blind for 850,000. He was covered by Artus Gimenez in the hijack.

Jordy Vleugels: A?J?
Artus Gimenez: K?5?

"Not even a sweat!" was Gimenez's response to the flop of A?10?8?, to give Vleugels top pair. He responded "Don't say that! There is two cards left!"

Vleguels was right to be cautious as the 5? came on the turn, meaning the Spaniard needed a five or king to bust the professional soccer player.

The 5? on the river caused a groan that was heard across the gaming floor of Gran Madrid Casino Torrequebrada as it gave Gimenez trip-fives and a dejected Vleguels will have a five-figure score for his first recorded cash.
