Andrea Benelli opened for 40,000 and VIcky Coren was the only caller from the small blind.
A flop of 
was checked by both players. The turn card 
saw Coren lead out for 45,000 which Benelli called
.
The river 
saw a quick check from Coren and Benelli gathered his chips and bet out 80,000.
“Yes, yes, yes.” said Coren and mucked her cards.
For the second time in a row Rocco Palumbo shoved allin. Ever losing that big pot to the quads of Andrija Martic he was short and needed a double up. His first shove got through, the second didn't.
He shoved from early position and big blind Stephen Chidwick snap called. Chidwick had jacks and was the favorite over Palumbo's nines. A jack on the flop left Palumbo hoping for runner runner, but it wouldn't be like that. By the time the turn was out, Palumbo was drawing dead.
