Russo Climbs Further, Eliminates Grasso
Level 29
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Salvatore Russo had raised preflop and Daniele Grasso had defended his big blind when the latter checked on the 6?4?9? flop. Russo continued for 160,000, which Grasso raised to 400,000.
Russo then put Grasso all-in for 1,200,000, and Grasso quickly called for his tournament life.
Daniele Grasso: 10?7? 
Salvatore Russo: 8?8?
The 9? turn removed Grasso's gutshot as Russo would make a full house, and the J? river was not a ten or diamond, leaving Grasso condemned to the rail.
