Just before the break, the action was down to three players, with each player locking up at least a €8,000 payday after Simone Alati, who recently doubled up, lost his stack on a bad beat to Davide Ceglia.
Alati three-bet jammed for more than a dozen big blinds from the big blind and was called by Ceglia, who originally opened from under the gun.
Simone Alati: J♦J♣
Davide Ceglia: A♠J♥
Alati was safe on the 9♥10♦7♣ flop with Ceglia’s ace still alive and also outs for a chop. The safety factor increased for Alati on the 2♥ turn. However, that all changed when the brutal A♥ river completed the board to end the start of the final table chip leader Alati’s run in fourth place.
Davide Ceglia: 3,900,000
Simone Alati: 0
