The tournament

Started under the banner of Alessio Liscia and Federico Anselmi, the latter able to close a straight flush already in the early stages of the Day by exceeding 3 million chips, the tournament continued for 6 hours until reaching the final table of 10.

Neither of them managed to reach it and David Testen, already chipleader at Day2, managed to keep the head of the ranking, arriving at the final act as undisputed chipleader.

And now let's review, elimination by elimination, the highlights of this final table!

It begins!

Blinds 100K/200K, Ante 100K

Martino Santoro immediately took the lead with two showdowns won out of two played. Left with 1.1 BB he was forced to go all-in on the first hand with K-Qs and was called by A-K. Board 10-9-4-Q-7 and he comes back to breathe.

Two hands later he found himself all-in with A-T against Q-Q of the chipleader, David Testen. The board reads K-Q-5-J-8 and the Olympia member doubles up again!

Instead, it was Alessandro Morales, who played a flip against Francesco Perrupato's A-J < 7-7 and gave up a large portion of his stack to his opponent, remaining with less than 10 BB.

Perrupato himself, however, has to succumb 9-9 < Q-Q against Giovanni Socci, who raises to 4.5

The situation after the first hands

Pos 1 - Francesco Perrupato 4.1 M

Pos 2 - David Testen 15 M

Pos 3 - Martino Santoro 2.5 M

Pos 4 - Adrian Lovin Sorin 4.6 M

Pos 5 - Alessandro Morales - 1.4 M

Pos 6 - Andrea Spinosi - 4.2 M

Pos 7 - Matja Kmet - 1.8 M

Pos 8 - Giovanni Socci 4.5 M

Pos 9 - Andrea Darduin - 5.8 M

Pos 10 - Marco Candura 2.6 M

Francesco Perrupato is the 10th classified

Blinds 100K/200K, Ante 100K

Perrupato shoves from UTG for 3.34 M Giovanni Socci calls from BTN and the blinds fold.

At showdown K♠️ K♣️ for Socci A♥️ Q ♥️ for Perrupato.

Board: 3♠️ Q♣️ 8♦️ 7♠️ 7♣️

Francesco Perrupato is the first eliminated at this final table for €2,500, an elimination that also costs dearly in terms of the team, since with his exit the "Scerminators" mathematically win the team ranking for a total of €20,000.

Matja Kmet exits in 9th place

Blinds 100K/200K, Ante 100K

To wait too long is a sin in this game and Matja finds himself automatically all-in with 4-2 off, against Candura's A-Js for less than a BB.

The board does not smile on him and Matja has to settle for €3,300.

In the mull, Alessandro Morales, who remained short and is now back up to 10 BBs, makes up some ground.

The situation at the moment:

Pos 2 - David Testen 13.5 M

Pos 3 - Martino Santoro 850 K

Pos 4 - Adrian Lovin Sorin 4.7 M

Pos 5 - Alessandro Morales 1.8 M

Pos 6 - Andrea Spinosi 3.2 M

Pos 8 - Giovanni Socci 11 M

Pos 9 - Andrea Darduin 13 M

Pos 10 - Marco Candura 1.1 M

Martino Santoro is the eighth classified

Blinds 125K/250K, Ante 250K

Santoro's time also arrived, having miraculously remained in the running up to this point. After his all-in comes that of Andrea Spinosi (3.2M stack) and following Socci's fold, Andrea Darduin also joins the party.

At showdown (pot around 8M)

Andrea Darduin: A♠️ K♥️

Andrea Spinosi: A♦️ A♥️

Martino Santoro: 3♠️ 3♣️

Board: 4♣️ J♥️ 7♠️ K♦️ 7♣️

Spinosi's Aces hold, Martino Santoro closes 8th and Andrea Darduin loses a small portion of his stack.

Marco Candura exits 7th

Blinds 125K/250K, Ante 250K

New round new run and Candura, left very short, has to put with Q♣️ 7♠️ from BB on the opening with Q♦️ J♣️ of Socci.

The board reads Q♠️ 6♦️ 8♥️ 8♣️ 7♥️, Socci cashes the pot and Candura closes seventh.

The players pause to discuss an ICM deal.
