Giuseppe Pastura Eliminated in 8th Place (€16,000)

Giuseppe Pastura has been a thorn in a lot of people’s side the past few days; not least that of the current chip leader Mike Sexton. But despite creating a commanding lead in the first level of the day, Pastura will not be making our final table of six after busting in eighth place.

Robert Begni opens under the gun and Pastura calls on the button. The action checks through to the turn on a board of [Ad] [5d] [4d] [Jc] and Begni makes a 60,000 bet. Pastura wastes little time in moving all-in and Begni makes the easiest call of his life.

Showdown

Begni: [Kd] [Jd]
Pastura: [Th] [Tc]

Pastura was as dead as a Dodo’s Grandmother. The inconsequential [2c] hit the river and Pastura was out.
