Wow, What a Start For Maisto
Italian Giacomo Maisto has had what can only be described as an amazing start to this final table and is the chip leader, despite starting as one of the shortest stacks!
He has managed to double up in consecutive hands, the first saw Kevin Vandersmissen min-raise to 60,000 from middle position and Maisto, next to act, clicked it back and made it 120,000 to play. The action folded back to Vandersmissen who wasted no time in moving all in and Maisto instantly called.

This boosted Maisto to 1,800,000 and dropped Vandersmissen to 3,180,000.
The very next hand Maisto opened the betting with a 73,000 raise, next to act was Vladimir Geshkenbein and he folded. Next to him was Philip Meulryzer and he made it 176,000 to play and when everyone folded back to Maisto he asked how many chip Meulyzer was playing then moved all in. Meulyzer quickly called and the Italian flipped over

Meulyzer joked that he was "pretty good at these" possibly referring to his jacks versus kings hand on Day 4 but his luck ran out on this occasion as the board ran out

Maisto now has 3,700,000 whilst Meulyzer is the short stack with around 500,000 in his stack
