One hand after being knocked down to 250,000, Gabriele Lepore is in the big blind and forced to put 100,000 in for the ante, leaving himself just 150,000 — and 100,000 of that is in for the big blind.

Anas Belatik moves all in from the small blind, and Gabriele Lepore calls all in for 150,000 with Club JClub 7.

Belatik turns over Spade 7Diamond 6, and Lepore is a solid favorite to double up here.

But the board comes Heart 8Heart 4Club 3Heart 6Club Q, and Belatik flops a gutshot straight draw and turns a pair of sixes to win the pot and eliminate Lepore in 12th place.

Anas Belatik  –  3,600,000  (36 bb)
Gabriele Lepore  –  Eliminated in 12th Place  (€9,900)
