With just 8 players left in the 2024 WSOP-C Sanremo Main Event, the tournament has paused for a 40-minute dinner break.
Once they return, the remaining players will continue their pursuit of the title around the final table. Play resumes at 9:00 p.m.
Pablo De Heredia jammed for 1,525,000 from middle position, then Xavier Zuczkowski to his left three-bet all-in with a bigger stack and made all of their opponents fold.
Pablo De Heredia: A♠10♠ 
Xavier Zuczkowski: A♣K♥
Zuczkowski kept the lead all the way through a board of 2♥7♣6♦5♥A♦ to eliminate De Heredia in 9th place for €11,445.
Hervé Gouzil opened from the hijack and faced Francesco Delfoco, who defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 10♠9♦5♦ flop leading to the 5♠ turn where Delfoco checked again. Gouzil bet 300,000 and Delfoco called.
The 4♥ river didn't bring more action and Gouzil flipped over A♣K♦. It was enough to take the pot because Delfoco only had Q♠10♣.
After several short stacks moved all-in but were not called, Pablo De Heredia jammed from middle position for 2,200,000. Mario Perati in the cutoff three-bet all-in, then Alex Sampirisi in the small blind seemed to hesitate before making the call, being also at risk for 700,000.
Alex Sampirisi: A♥K♥
Pablo De Heredia: A♣J♦
Mario Perati: A♠J♥
'It's going to be a final table with seven players," Hervé Gouzil joked when he saw that three players moved all-in. "Or maybe we stay at nine" he added when he discovered all three hands.
The board of 10♦4♠7♥2♣5♠ didn't change anything and Sampirisi tripled up while Sampirisi took the rest of their chips back. "Oxygen", Sampirisi said.
