No luck for Cris

Terrible tournament for Cristiano. He's already out after just 2 levels. He lost his stack against his fellow Dario Minieri. Cris hits top set on the turn with his pocket kings on a board 58TK. But Dario is hiding a straight draw with 67 and he hits with the river 4. Cris could not see it coming and he pays off Dario's all-in reraise.

Too bad, too bad...

WSOPE London: it's Blanco's day!

Ready, set, go! WSOPE London Main Event just started and we have our Italian Champion, Cristiano Blanco, playing today.
Cristiano is on a hot run, with 3 final tables on his last 3 tournaments he played last week here in London at the Grosvenor Victoria.
"But this (WSOPE Main Event) is the real thing and I aim for the 4th Final Table in a row. I'm very happy and optimist".

Doyle Brunson himself started the day with the "shuffle up and deal". 144 players today.

Tomorrow we'll have our lovely Kim Wooka and our new Team Everest Member, the November Niner Antoine Saout, playing Day1B.

GO Cris!
