Juuso Luokkanen moved all in for 4,200,000 in the cutoff as action folded to Angelo Marrone in the big blind, who peeked down at his cards and instantly put in a chip to signify a call.

Angelo Marrone: A?K?

The K?8?9? flop gave Marrone top pair, while Luokkanen picked up a straight draw. The 5? turn was no help, while the 4? river sealed Luokkanen's elimination in eighth place as Marrone, who began the day with just four big blinds, moved up to 12,000,000.

Berisha had 7,600,000 remaining and thought about the decision for several minutes before mucking J?10?.

Magro Tries to Bluff Saka Again

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Alain Saka used his big stack to open yet another pot, raising to 800,000 in the hijack. Dennis Magro called in the big blind as they went heads-up to the 7?9?7? flop.

Action was checked to the 6? turn, where Saka bet 750,000. Magro called to the 2? river, then led out for 850,000.

Saka took a few seconds before calling with 8?6? for two pair, sevens and sixes, and Magro mucked K?5? in frustration after another failed bluff attempt against the chip leader.
