Gianluca Gallo jammed for his last 1,800,000 from under the gun and was snap-called by Dennis Magro from the big blind.
Gianluca Gallo: A?6?
Dennis Magro: Q?Q?
Gallo had one foot out of the door after the J?K?K? flop and his other foot followed as the 4? turn and 2? river confirmed his departure.
Gallo's elimination also confirms the final nine for the final table. The players have been sent on a break and play will resume in 20-minutes.

Gianluca Gallo | Busted |
Gianluca Gallo raised to 800,000 in the hijack and Alain Saka called on the button, as did big blind Xhavit Berisha.
The flop came 8?Q?7? and Gallo continued for 725,000. Only Saka called to see the 5? turn.
Gallo then checked and Saka fired out 1,200,000. Gallo tanked for several minutes until calling as the 3? fell on the river.
Gallo checked again and Saka bet 3,000,000 this time. Gallo once more took a few minutes before sliding in a call holding A?Q? for top pair. Saka, though, turned over A?10? for the nut flush to win the massive pot.

Julien Loire moved all in from the cutoff, having the rest of the table covered, and Juuso Luokkanen called for 4,300,000 on the button.
Juuso Luokkanen: A?10?
Julien Loire: 9?9?
Luokkanen was flipping for his tournament life but didn't find any help on the 3?7?J? flop. The turn, though, brought the A? and Luokkanen pulled in front with a pair of aces.
The river was the 8? and Luokkanen survived to double up.
A few hands later, Luokkanen raised pre-flop, then called when Ermanno Di Nicola moved all in for 4,450,000 on the button.
Ermanno Di Nicola: A?K?
Juuso Luokkanen: K?Q?
Luokkanen found himself dominated as the board came 7?9?2?3?4?, earing Di Nicola the double up.

Angelo Marrone moved all in for 2,525,000 in the cutoff and Alessandro Predaroli called on the button. "Aces," Predaroli joked with Loire, but Loire folded this time leaving Predaroli heads-up with Marrone.
Angelo Marrone: 8?8?
Alessandro Predaroli: 7?7?
Marrone showed a higher pocket pair as the board came A?K?J?Q?J?, keeping his eights in front and earning him a double up.

Cristian David moved all in for 2,025,000 in the cutoff and Alessandro Predaroli called in the small blind. Julien Loire then reshoved in the big blind and Predaroli folded.
Cristian David: 8?8?
Julien Loire: A?A?
"Unbelievable," David said in disgust upon seeing Loire's aces. The flop came A?6?4? and Loire made top set to leave David drawing incredibly thin to avoid elimination.
The board ran out Q?2? and David was eliminated in 11th place. Predaroli then told Loire he folded ace-ten, indicating Loire had hit the last ace in the deck.
"And I flopped a set," Loire said.

Xhavit Berisha opened to 700,000 from under the gun. Stefan Fabian moved all in for 5,000,000 from the small blind. Samuel Stranak was forced all in from the big blind.
Samuel Stranak: Q?5?
Stefan Fabian: J?J?
Xhavit Berisha: K?K?
Berisha was the favorite to seal the double bust out, and that's exactly what happened as his kings remained best following the 7?8?2?4?A? runout.
