Here we are at the final act of the Sanremo 2023 IPO, with 24 qualifiers vying for the title and a €280,000 first prize. It was a really intense day, which saw the field shrink from 184 participants to just three tables.
Leading the pack was 🇦🇹 Andreas Frohli, for long stretches in command, thanks to a superlative performance that allowed him to bag 17,360,000 chips, the equivalent of over 100 big blinds at the restart of the Final Day when the blinds will reach 80/160K.
The Top 3
Austria's Andreas Frohli can boast $123,000 in gross live tournament winnings, accumulated strictly in low buy-in tournaments. If he were to hit it big today it would undoubtedly be his best score ever, which currently stands at 6th place in a PLO tournament at EPT Barcelona for $26,000.
At the end of the day we asked him what the key hands of his tournament had been, here is his answer:
"Yes, there were two in particular. In the first one, he opens CO 42 BB, I decide to 3-bet with T-T from BTN, he 4-bets with A-K and I decide to go all-in winning the coin flip.
I think an hour later, a player raises in MP, I 3-bet small (we are over 40 BB deep), he plays and I flopped a Set on 8-4-2 while he has Aces.
From then on everything went smoothly, I started winning lots of small pots, and from 9 million I practically doubled my stack without risking much.
If I had any particularly tough opponents at the table? It's hard to say, when you have a lot of chips and can make your own game the dynamics change, I should have had a few even stacks to better answer that question."
In second place - don't let the name fool you - is an Italian, Zlatin Penev, a native of Romagna although of Bulgarian origin.
For him today there will be a good 14 million chips to manage, as well as the chance to improve on his best result in a live event after winning the UK IPT last year for €144,630.
"My tournament? - says Zlatin - It started off quite well, I managed almost immediately to double up from 500 to 1 million: from then on it all went downhill and I always had easy tables that allowed me to make stacks.
The most important hand? Just before the end of the Day at T100K on an opening from CO with A-6off, BTN 3-bet to 750K, we 4-bet to 1,550,000, and the 3-bettor calls. A-9-7 rainbow comes out, we play even stack, BTN goes all-in and we find the call with Oppo turning over Q-8off saying 'nice call'.
From that moment I moved up to 12 million and after winning a few more small pots I made it to 14 with no sweat."
On the bottom step of the podium was Peter Bomba with 12,995,000.
