Five players remain in the running. A first coin worth over 750,000 euros is up for grabs. Unfortunately there are no Italians on the last day of the competition. Alessandro Barone tried without success. Today the title is awarded. Follow the live streaming with commentary in Italian on our website
Alessandro Barone was unable to move up the rankings. Yesterday we also lost the last blue along the way. But watch out for side events. At the EPT in Malta the Main Event is ready to elect the winner and there is a live streaming of the final table on Gazzetta
BARON, PARDO AND MATEOS
—
In yesterday’s recap we mentioned often Juan Pardoin fact he was the executioner of almost all the Italians who had dropped from six to one. Among other things Alessandro Barone he once again started from last place. In recent days he had saved himself, yesterday he tried but… yes. Him again. The blue had immediately found a nice second. The hand that could have definitively revived him comes against Pardo. In a war between the blinds, all the chips end up in the middle: 5♦ 5♣ against A♥ 8♣ and it is Alessandro who must find help on the board. The coinflip is resolved in Pardo’s favor with Alessandro waving. It seems like a tournament written for the Spanish. Mateos doesn’t miss a (decisive) shot, Calonge is on fire as is Pardo. However, only one of the three protagonists makes it to the final day. Mateos greets his traveling companions after having pushed while dominated while Pardo first pays (a lot) a suit vs suit and from short loses a 70-30 in which he started as an underdog
EPT MALTA MAIN EVENT: BOIKA AT THE FINAL TABLE
—
The shortest today is the chip leader of the last few days, a sign that in poker a couple of bad hands are enough to collapse. Norwegian Bedell will start with “only” 14 big blinds. Looking down on everyone is Ukrainian Mykhalio Ostash who has accumulated almost 10 million chips. Second place for Aliaksei Boika, defending champion of the EPT Malta who played (for the last time) 9 years ago. The only Spaniard remaining is Adria Calonge, fifth with 3.5 million. As always there will be a live streaming of the final table with Italian commentary by Pier Paolo Fabretti, Giada Fang and Alberto Russo. However, you will also be listening to the latest side events, in particular the high roller. Umberto Ruggeri was looking for the second spade of the event but his pocket aces ran into a spade flush. The “usual” Enrico Camosci remains in the running and wants to put an end to the curse of second places. 11 players remain in the running: Enrico is among the shortest but someone like him can easily move up the rankings
