: 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Rupert Elder raised the first hand to 125,000 but folded when Roberto Spada made it 330,000 behind him.
Costantino Russo made it 160,000 from the small blind to win Francesco De Vivo's big blind.
Rupert Elder raised to 125,000 and got called by Massimiliano Manigrasso and Costantino Russo, giving us our first flop of the day, a co-ordinated 
board. Elder bet 180,000 and Manigrasso was the sole caller to the 
turn. Elder now checked across to the Italian who bet a curiously small 185,000 and Elder made the call as the pot went over the 1 million chip mark.
The river was the 
and both players checked, Manigrasso turned over 
but Elder's 
won the pot.
