Il Casinò Atrium Hilton di Praga era gremito di poker players, pronti al via per partecipare al Day 1B di questa tappa dell’European Poker Tour: erano infatti 372 i giocatori alla linea di partenza, tra cui 42 italiani.
Non potevano ovviamente mancare tra i presenti i talentuosi azzurri di casa PokerStars, quali Luca Pagano, Salvatore Bonavena e Dario Minieri.
Purtroppo per il Supernova romano si è trattato di un torneo piuttosto corto, e la sua cavalcata si è conclusa prematuramente quando la sua doppia coppia non è riuscita a battere la scala di un avversario. La sorte invece è stata decisamente più benevola con il suo compagno di squadra Pagano, che ha concluso il suo Day 1B sopra l’average.
Anche Bonavena è riuscito a mettere a segno qualche importante raddoppio che l’ha portato a fine giornata sopra le 50 mila chips. Tra gli azzurri meritano una menzione anche le prestazioni di Mustapha Kanit (in foto), Antonio Buonanno e Giacomo Maisto.
Al termine del Day 1B sono rimasti in gara 169 poker players, comandati nel chip count da Dirk Richter, che guarda tutti dall’alto delle sue 296.700 chips.
