Blanco: The Unstoppable Cash Machine

28/10/08 @ 07:31:55 am by Ed

Cristiano Blanco is on one of those streaks that everybody dreams of - even when things go wrong it turns out great.

Cristiano was caught out by the time changes in Ireland after cashing in at the Irish Masters and missed his flight to EPT Budapest which starts today.

Slightly dejected but with cash in his pocket Cristiano enetered a 500 Euro side event in Ireland. He made the final table - eventually finishing 5th - and taking home another 6,300 Euro.

His current form book reads: 3 tournaments, 2 final tables & 3 cash wins.

Awesome Cristiano, well done.
