Cristiano Blanco was eliminated yesterday during the 7th level of play. He will talk about his fate on his blog. But just to recap, he was down to 5k and he managed to climb up to 20k before the 5th level. Then he lost most of his chip stack when he ran into Aces twice.
His last fatal hand, with 8k was a typical coin flip with 66 against AK of the italian player Giampiero Valentini. Board gave no help to our player, and he was sent to the rail.
Leroy Soresman was included in the day 1a list of players by mistake. We were worried for his no-show, but we're pleased to inform all his dutch supporters that he's playing right now in day 1b.
We also have the final figure of the attendance at this Sanremo EPT: 361 players today, plus 337 yesterday, for a staggering total of 698 players. The director, Thomas Kremser, announced: "We had to cap to 700 to keep the structure of a 4-day event. Without this limitation, this would have been a tournament with 800-900 players".
It's summer in the Italian Riviera. Blue skies, palm trees and the sea from the Sanremo Casino windows. This first Italian EPT brought to you by Pokerstars is already a favourite for most players. It's because of the city, the grand old-fashioned casino athmosphere, the excellent food and of course the huge field of over 700 players that flocked to this event. This will build one of the largest prizepool in the EPT history, and our Everest Poker players are still in the hunt.
We've lost many of them in the furious day1a action, but two players made it to day2.
It's Steven van Zadelhoff, one of the Live the Dream recent winners, with 54.600, and Evert Jan Dondergoor with 34.100, in perfect average.
97 of the 337 registered players of day1a passed to day2. And today we expect at least 350 more players. Exact figures, prizepool and prizes will be announced later by the tournament director Thomas Kremser.
We'll keep you posted, with some pictures of the venue and our players.
