Sorel Mizzi did not have the same luck as he was crippled in the first flat as a pancake when he named Marino Serinelli’s -straightforward for most of his chips. He was abolish shortly after.

The day featured some true as a short-fixed Dario Minieri blocked Ramzi Jalessi into a poor raise with only Q-8, granted him to double-up. Minieri snap called with K-Q, somehow expressive he had induced his opponent into a bad play. Minieri’s hand held up and he then collision out another short-stack, completing his comeback.

By neck and neck six, Roland De Wolfe was rolling, storming into the chip lead after picking up a 20,000 pot by beating a double stomach-buster helm draw.
