The turn brought the {j-Hearts} and both players checked to the {2-Spades} on the river. Bullimore checked again and Moshe also knuckled the table. Bullimore turned over his two pair and Moshe sent his cards to the muck.

James Bullimore raised to 65,000 on the button, Giuliano Bendinelli three-bet shoved 360,000 from the small blind, Robert Schulz folded the big blind but Bullimore quickly called.

Giuliano Bendinelli: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The short-stacked Italian had snuck in a payjump with Van Tiep Nguyen busting the hand before, but his run came to an end in 4th place. He went off to the payout desk to collect €22,210 in winnings.

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
James Bullimore
James Bullimore

Asi Moshe opened to 65,000 on the button with {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and James Bullimore just called in the small blind with {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Giuliano Bendinelli held {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} in the big blind and shoved all in. Moshe quickly discarded his hand and Bullimore snap-called with a premium hand.

The flop of {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} gave Bullimore a set of kings and a large advantage in the pot. The {j-Hearts} on the turn left Bendinelli drawing dead to the {3-Hearts} on the river. Bullimore doubled up and Bendinelli was down to under seven big blinds.

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action folded to James Bullimore in the small blind who ripped all in with {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Giuliano Bendinelli looked down at {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} in the big blind and snap-called for his last 451,000 chips.

The flop came {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} which changed nothing as Bendinelli was still out front with his ace-high. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river brought the {j-Clubs} as Bendinelli held on for a double up.
