With a little under two weeks to go until the EPT Grand Final, the tour’s event in San Remo will be the last chance to win a seat for the climax in Monte Carlo. Consequently the Italian event is a sell out, with stacks of players contributing €5000 to the prize pool.
Yesterday saw Day 1A draw to a close. Of the 337 who had chosen to sample the charms of the casino rather than those of the Italian Riviera, less than 100 will be contesting Day 2 when it begins on Thursday.
Of those who crashed to their knees is former Olympic Champion, Italian Alberto Tomba. Nicknamed ‘Tomba The Bomb’ he managed to win gold medals in the slalom and giant slalom but, when faced with the slightly inclining level of his opponents’ skill, he found himself lacking the required protective equipment.
Currently at the top of the hill and hoping to avoid a vertical drop is online qualifier Ville Nyman, from Finland. Having amassed 107,100 chips, he’ll be hoping that his rapid acceleration doesn’t warp into terminal velocity.
Today will see some poker heavyweights swagger in the arena, including Soren Jensen, who managed second place at the EPT Copenhagen. As the final table is not until Saturday, we’re sure all of them will be happy with the chugging reassurance of the ski-lift.
