Two Eliminations in as Many Hands

We are now down to 28 players after two eliminations in as many hands on adjacent tables.

The first to fall was Scipione Panceza who entered a raising war with Salvatore Bianco that resulted in him being all in with [8d8s] against the pocket aces of Bianco. Ouch.

The final board ran out [6s9sAdTc9h] and Panceza was history.

On the next table there was another pair versus overpair confrontation, with Fabio Scepi at risk holding [6h6d] against the [QhQc] of Ionut Florin Panilica. The [2cQs4s] flop almost locked up the hand for Panilica but the [3c] on the turn gave Scepi some extra outs to a straight. However, the failed to materialise as the river was the [6s] improving Scepi to a set of sixes but still not enough to best the three queens of his Romanian opponent.
