Sicilian Oscar Arezzo became Rasmus Lundström’s second victim of the final table. The action was folded round to Oscar in the hi-jack, who open shoved with his last 10 big blinds with A♥J♠. It was folded round to Rasmus in the big blind, who woke up with A♦K♣.

The flop of 3♥8♣Q♦ provided no help for Oscar, nor did the 5♦ on the turn…and the K♦ on the river was completely unnecessary, as Arezza headed out the door.

Lundström: 15.95m
Arezzo: 0

Oscar, from Pozzallo in southern Sicily was a recent winner on the Vamos Poker Tour when he won a side event in Milan, but his €16,670 score here dwarfs his previous best cash of €3,469, achieved in San Marino back in 2000. This is the third Maltese flag he has earned and we expect it won’t be his last. Well played fella!

Oscar Arezzo, 7th pkace finisher for €16,670
