Winner’s Reaction

Di Nicola was thrilled to win his "second consecutive bracelet", adding, "I like the 6-max format; it's very aggressive and suits my style of play very well."

He added that he is looking forward to playing the WSOPE Main Event and is looking to play "anything possible" in the near to distant future following this evening's success.

Day 2 Action

Eliminations came thick and fast in the first four levels of play, with the initial 89-player field being whittled down to 56 by the end of the first break.

With 53 players of the field getting paid, it was Rafi Elharar who bubbled the tournament, missing out on a min-cash of €3,005. Post bubble, the action continued at a seemingly relentless pace, with several big pots and multiway all-ins taking place. Eventual final tablist Traian Stanciu scooping a three-way all in to build his stack.

Timur Margolin was eliminated by eventual final tablist Rachid El Yaacoubi who kept chipping up. He eliminated Vladimir Troyanovskiy to take play to a seven handed final table.

Final Table Action

The pace of play did not hold up at the final table. Na took the first two pots, the first of which he got three streets of value with aces .

He then went on to bust Vincent Meli in seventh place to maintain momentum.

Di Nicola's first final table scalp came when he bust Axel Bayout after the Frenchman was left short after shoving into Stanciu's queens.

His second knockout came when he sent Amiel Gamliel to the rail after he shoved into Di Nicola with an inferior ace.

Earlier in the tournament, Gamiel told PokerNews, "If you get to write about me, please say zero to hero" after the Swiss national spent the majority of Day 1 and portions of Day 2 hovering around the 20 big blind mark or below. His heroic efforts were rewarded with a fifth-place finish.

Di Nicola continued his stacking spree by besting the jacks of fourth-place finisher Stanciu with queens.

It didn't end there for Di Nicola, as he claimed El Yaacoubi's stack having five-bet all in on the flop.

Na had to overcome a roughly 3:1 chip deficit in order to take down the bracelet. He reduced the deficit by making trips. Still, ultimately the cards were in Di Nicola's favour today as his cowboys held against Na's ace high to secure the Italian his second bracelet.
