L’European Poker Tour prosegue a passi veloci: se ad inizio Day 3 erano ancora 112 i poker players in gara, nel corso dei livelli di gioco il field si è scremato davvero molto in fretta, tanto che nei primi livelli le eliminazioni avevano già dimezzato il numero dei partecipanti.
Della compagine azzurra sono stati esclusi dai giochi quasi subito Marcello Rizzini e Niccolò Calia – out comunque a premio entrambi – seguiti a breve distanza da Giuseppe Pipino, che sebbene iniziasse il Day 3 tra gli ultimi del chip count è riuscito a resistere fino a conquistare la 100esima posizione.
Sorte avversa anche per Luca Cainelli e Federico Cipollini, che hanno comunque tenuto duro rispettivamente fino al 66esimo ed al 40esimo posto, ma le eliminazioni hanno continuato a susseguirsi veloci eliminando anche diverse stelle del Team internazionale di PokerStars come Leo Fernandez e Mathias De Meulder.
I tifosi di poker italiani possono comunque essere felici, dal momento che sono ancora in corsa per il tavolo finale dei veri assi dei tavoli verdi, quali Alex Longobardi e Giuseppe Pantaleo (in foto), tedesco di origini italiane, in ottima forma in questo European Poker Tour.
