Zarbo Left With Crumbs
Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Traian Stanciu opened to 550,000 under the gun, and action folded to Giuseppe Zarbo on the button, who produced a three-bet to 2,000,000.
Stanciu pondered the spot for a moment, before moving all in for 8,400,000, with Zarbo making the snap call, with a slightly covering stack.
Traian Stanciu: K?K? 
Giuseppe Zarbo: 9?9?
This hand left Zarbo with just 300,000 and although he tripled up in the next hand to 850,000
Zarbo was in trouble versus Stanciu's overpair, and no help arrived on the J?A?3?Q?2? runout, sending him to the cash desk in fourth place.
Stanciu and Carta are now close in chips, with Luchkou trailing in third.
