Two big hands played out at the two tables simultaneously.
At Table 31, Alessandro Collaro opened to 210,000 from the Cut-off. Dimosthenis Ioannidis made it 550,000 from the Small Blind, and Collaro made the call.
Ioannidis fired a 500,000 continuation bet on the 10♠9♠7♥ flop. Collaro moved all in for 1,200,000 in total, and Ioannidis made the call.
Alessandro Collaro: Q♠J♠
Dimosthenis Ioannidis: A♠5♠
Not ideal for Collaro, and the 3♥A♦ runout sealed his fate. He went out in tenth place for £1,550, and the final table was set.
There was still a hand going on at the other table, though. Nick Walsh had opened to 210,000 UTG, and the Button and the Small Blind both made the call. The player in the Small Blind led out on the 5♠10♦5♣ flop, and Walsh was the sole caller. Walsh’s enemy fired 600,000 on the 3♣ turn, and Walsh decided to stick around.
The opponent checked the Q♦ river, and Walsh moved all in for 990,000. After some consideration, the opponent made the call. Walsh turned over A♥A♦, which was deemed the best hand. Walsh will have one of the biggest stacks going into the final table.
Nick Walsh: 4,700,000
