Gabriele Carro eliminated in 9th place for €10,200

Roughly 15 minutes into the 9-handed unofficial final table, Gabriele Carro opened to 300,000 from the Cut-off. Seated in the Big Blind, Rasmus Lundström decided to call.

The flop came 3♥Q♠4♦. Lundström checked to Carro, who continued for 325,000. Lundström made the call, and the dealer dealt the 8♥ on the turn. Lundström checked again, and Carro now bet 600,000. Lundström threw in five 100,000 chips and made the call.

The river was the 5♠. Lundström completed the check trifecta, and Carro bet 1,100,000. Then, Lundström forced Carro all in for 3,000,000 in total.

Carro leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily. He threw in two timebank chips and was visibly agonized by Lundström’s move. After some time, Carro eventually made the call.

Lundström turned over A♠2♠ for a rivered straight. Carro couldn’t believe it as he showed the table his A♥A♦ holdings.

Rasmus Lundström: 9,625,000
Gabriele Carro: 0

With that, Carro was eliminated in 9th place. For his feat, he was awarded €10,200. As he headed over to the payout desk, the rest of the players celebrated as the tournament director brought eight plastic bags to the table.

The remaining players will nog bag their chips and return tomorrow, April 9, at 14:00, to battle it out for the 2025 Battle of Malta Main Event title and the first-place payout of €120,000.

That concludes our live coverage for Day 4 of the Main Event. Stay tuned for a recap of the day, as well as chip counts for tomorrow’s official 8-handed final table.
