Georgios Skarparis shoved from the hijack for 1,850,000 and Umberto Ruggeri called from the big blind.

Georgios Skarparis: A♦8♣ All in
Umberto Ruggeri: 5♠5♥

It was another flip that Skarparis needed to win, and he got off to a great start when the J♣K♥A♥ flop paired his ace. The 10♠ turn did bring around some chop possibilities, but the 4♠ river was safe, and Skarparis doubled up.

Nivel 30 : 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan raised middle position to 250,000 and Mario Colavita shoved the cutoff for around 2,300,000. When it got back to Moldovan, he flicked in the call.

Mario Colavita: J♦J♠ All in
Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan: K♥Q♥

Colavita found himself flipping for his tournament life, and fell behind on the 10♥J♥5♥ flop as Moldovan flopped a flush with a Royal Flush draw.

A 6♣ on the turn was a brick, but Colavita found a full house on the 5♠ river to secure the double-up.

The action folded around to Mihai Niste in the small blind, who shoved all in. Ryan Mandara was in the big blind and had a decision for his stack of 2,150,000.

"I can make a Royal Flush," joked Mandara about the strength of his hand. After counting out his stack, Mandara picked up some chips and dropped them into the pot.

Ryan Mandara: Q♥10♥ All in
Mihai Niste: A♥4♦

Mandara needed a little help from the dealer, and got some on the Q♦7♣8♦ flop as he made top pair.

"That's not a good board for me," said Niste.

A 6♠ on the turn did give Niste a gutshot straight draw, but the J♥ river was a brick, and Mandara doubled up.
