Not The Greatest Last Hand For Trumper<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matt Savage announces one final hand before we go to bed and return for the final day tomorrow. The action folds around to Simon Trumper on the button and he raises to 39,000 and Christofer Williamson calls in the big blind. The flop is and Williamson checks to Trumper who puts him all-in. Williamson cannot get into the pot quick enough and turns over for a flopped set. Trumper needs a little help because he has . The turn brings him a chink of light but the on the river means Trumper has had a torrid last few hands and the very quiet Williamson finds a double up.<\/p>\n

Trumper ~ 632,000
\nWilliamson ~ 510,000<\/p>\n

Giannetti Catches Trumper On The River<\/strong><\/p>\n

On a flop of Simon Trumper checks from the big blind, Cecilia Pescaglini checks in middle position and Matt Giannetti bets 67,000 from late position. Back to Trumper and he makes the call and Pescaglini folds. The turn is the and both players check. The river is the and Trumper check-calls a 155,000 river bet by Giannetti. Giannetti turns over and Trumper flings his [Ax] [Tx] across the table.<\/p>\n

“So lucky, so sick. Just sick man,” says Trumper.<\/p>\n

Giannetti ~ 1,200,000
\nTrumper ~ 1,000,000<\/p>\n

All-In Reports<\/strong><\/p>\n

Filippo Bianchini has moved all-in twice in recent hands and has not received a caller once.<\/p>\n

Christofer Williamson raises to 25,000 in early position and when it folds around to Simon Trumper in the big blind he moves all-in for over 1.3 million sending Williamson into the tank. Then despite holding his favourite hand (so he told us) Williamson folded. Trumper shows .<\/p>\n

Manfred Sierke Has Been Eliminated in 9th Place (\u20ac12,220)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The chip leader Tristan Clemencon raises to 26,000 in early position, Cecilia Pescaglini called as did Manfred Sierke in the big blind. The flop is [Qx] [3x] [4x] and Sierke bets 35,000 but Clemencon raises it up to 105,000. Pescaglini folds and Sierke makes the call before we saw the [2x] on the turn. Sierke moves all-in for 140,000 and Clemencon bites his hand off. The cards are overturned and there are gasps around the tournament area. Sierke has [Qx] [6x] for top pair and a gut-shot but the chip leader has the nuts [5x] [6x]. There was no river help for Sierke and he left in 9th place.<\/p>\n

Clemencon ~ 1,850,000<\/p>\n

Salvatore Bianco Has Been Eliminated in 10th Place (\u20ac9,430)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Cecilia Pescaglini made her third consecutive early position raise and Salvatore Bianco three-bet to 55,000 a few seats to her left. When the action folded around to Tristan Clemencon in the big blind he four-bet to 110,000. Pescaglini sensed that this was not her fight and moved out of the way but Bianco fancied a scrap and moved all-in. The speed of the Clemencon call physically startled Bianco and he knew it was bad news.<\/p>\n

Clemencon:
\nBianco: <\/p>\n

There was no help on the flop, Clemencon took the chip lead and and Bianco headed for Saturday night in Malta.<\/p>\n

Clemencon ~ 1.6 million<\/p>\n

Five Bet Bluff by Giannetti<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fabien Sartoris starts the ball rolling with a bet of 27,000 in the hijack seat and Matt Giannetti three-bets to 62,000 on the button. Back to Sartoris who four-bets to 112,000 and like a tennis match eyes revert back to Giannetti who five-bets to 177,000. Sartoris has had enough and folds while Giannetti flashes him the and Sartoris went a shade of scarlet.<\/p>\n
