Samir Rahal raised to 1,500 on the button, receiving calls from both Giovanni Grassi and Kamal Sefrioui in the respective blinds.
The 9♥3♥2♣ flop saw the action check to Rahal, who bet out 3,100. Grassi check-raised to 9,800, Sefrioui folded, as did Rahal.
Davidi Kitai opened to 1,200 from middle position and was called by Patrick Afonso in the small blind.
Ivan Barbuto was in the big blind and he reached for chips and three-bet to 5,200. Kitai called; Afonso got out of the way.
On the J♦3♦4♥ flop, Barbuto checked to Kitai, who put out a bet of 4,000.
Barbuto quickly check-raised all in for around 20,000 and Kitai got his chips in the middle just as fast, with Kitai at risk.
Davidi Kitai: A♦2♦ 
Ivan Barbuto: A♠K♦
Barbuto's ace-high was ahead but had a lot of outs to fade with Kitai holding the nut flush draw and a gutshot straight draw.
The 4♦ rolled off on the river to leave Barbuto drawing dead, who smacked the table in frustration.
The 9♠ completed the board and Kitai raked in a nice pot, while Barbuto was left on fumes.

Ozcan Caprak limped under the gun. Action folded to Senol Ardic on the button, who raised to 2,000.
Fred Weiss, in the big blind, produced a three-bet to 6,900, leading to swift folds from both of his opponents.
The pot stood at 5,700 with two players looking at a flop of K♦9♥A♠.
Yohan Rascar, in the big blind, bet out for 1,800. Sergiu Tcaciuc, on the button, made the call.
The 9♦ turn checked through to the 2♥ on the river. Rascar bet out for 6,000 and Tcaciuc made a frustrated fold.
The player under the gun limped in, as did a player in early position. Said Tahar raised to 2,500 from the hijack and Pedro Oliveira three-bet to 5,500 on the button. Both the limpers folded and Tahar called.
The 8♠7♦Q♣ flop saw Tahar check and then fold to a bet of 5,500 from Oliveira.
Mohamed Assiani opened to 1,000 from middle position and was met with a three-bet to 3,600 by Eric Sfez in the cutoff.
Action folded to Fiodor Martino in the small blind, who reached for chips and produced a cold four-bet to 8,700. Assiani got out of the way and Sfez called.
On the K♠6♣3♥ flop Martino check-called versus a bet of 5,200 from Sfez.
On the Q♣ turn, Martino checked again and Sfez wasted little time in moving all in with a covering stack. Martino snap-called.
Sfez turned over A♦7♣ for air and Martino had K♥K♣ for top set, sending him a chunky pot and leaving Sfez with crumbs.
