With only 130,000 in the pot, a player in the small blind bet 200,000 on and Gianluca Speranza called in the big blind. A third player in the pot mucked and they went heads up to . The small blind checked and Speranza bet 325,000. That was met with a check-raise to 800,000 that was quickly called by Speranza. On the river, the small blind grabbed all of his chips but then checked. Speranza set him in by betting 800,000 but he took the pot without showdown.

With nearly 4 million as the players head to their second break, the Italian has put himself in fantastic position as he's not far behind the biggest stacks to bag thus far through the first two flights.

Speranza Still Crushing

Nível 5 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Gianluca Speranza remains absolutely on fire as he has over 4.7 million, putting him past the biggest stacks that have been bagged to this point. Speranza broke out in a big way with a second-place finish last year at WSOPE for €689,246.

He rolled those winning ways over to partypoker LIVE events in 2018, first getting 10th at partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany €5,300 Main Event for €40,000 then taking second in the £10,300 High Roller at partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Dusk Till Dawn for £193,000.

Meanwhile, the tournament is nearing the 900-entry mark, putting it about 1,100 short of meeting the $10 million guarantee.

Dentale Punishes ElkY; Baldwin Doubles

Nível 6 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mike Dentale said he was on tilt when he opened and got three-bet by Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. That tilt compelled him to stuff his chips in on a four-bet bluff, by his recollection, and Grospellier tank-called with . Dentale said he was lucky enough to flop an open-ender and turn ElkY dead, so Grospellier will have to reenter now if he wishes to continue playing.

At another table, Eric Baldwin was on the button and called a bet of 110,000 on a flop of . His opponent checked from under the gun on the turn and Baldwin checked it back. On the river, the rest of the money went in, though we didn't see who made the aggressive action.

Baldwin turned over for top two and his opponent had gotten a tough river card holding . He shipped over 501,000.
