EPT Copenhagen, Francesco Heads Up!!!

It's been a great run. The Live the Dream Team's newest member, Francesco De Vivo, finished 2nd the EPT Copenhagen, taking home €303,000 ($411,000). After a three and a half hours of heads-up play, where Francesco reaches a chip lead of almost 9 to 1, he lost an incredible series of showdowns while his opponent caught many big starting hands and flops, and managed to get back into the game and finally seal the victory.

Francesco says he is not a heads-up specialist. "I won a lucky showdown, that's true, but my opponent got an incredible rush of good hands, so I think we were equal on the luck factor. Pity i did not win that showdown when he was so short-stacked! But this second place is a dream for any poker player and I don't want to recriminate anything."

"On top of that, it encourages me to do even better in the future. For me that's just the beginning. It was my first tournament as an Everest Poker sponsored player: I was very proud to wear the Everest Poker logo and I'm sure Everest Poker is now proud of me."
