Jan Turjak moves all in from UTG+1 for 28,500, Antonino Costa calls from the hijack, Ivan Zvarik calls from the cutoff, and Giovanni Ursoleo moves all in over the top from the small blind for roughly 115,000.

Costa folds, and Zvarik calls all in for about 70,000. All three players turn over their cards.
