The Main Event as well as the entire Tana delle Tigri series is already a thing of the past. During the last week, the main tournament recorded 899 entries, which, with a buy-in of €250 and a guarantee of €250,000, meant that the casino had to reach into its pocket. The top 194 advanced to Day 2, but only 89 of them cashed. 15 finalists advanced to the grand finale, from which you could also watch Livestream.
At 2 pm, all 15 finalists sat down at the tables, grinding their teeth for the championship, which was awarded with a reward of up to €35,000. At this moment, everyone had a certainty of €2,900, and Marek "Žandár" Blaško was the first to come to pick it up at the cash register. A set of aces was fatal to him, which was not enough for Weiss straight.
Before the official final table, Antonio Cicinelli was also eliminated, who sent allin with AJ to the opponent's queens. He took home €4,400 for ninth place. After his elimination, the official final table was formed, which was dominated by Gani Weiss with a huge lead.
Paolo Principi was the first player eliminated at the final table. After him, the last Slovak in the game - Patrik Ciklamíni - went to the cash desk. His last hand was defended BB, when he defended A6 and then called all-in with a flush draw after the KT9 flop, when his opponent already had a complete straight. Neither the turn nor the river brought a heart, so Patrik took home €5,900. A little later, Giuseppe Messina was eliminated as well, taking €6,800 for sixth place.
In the last five, Weiss already had almost half of the chips in front of him and managed to knock out Aldo Enrico Pezotti for exactly €8,000. Before the deal, Marco Barlaam also dropped out, having to settle for €9,500. After his elimination, the players agreed on a deal in equal parts of €20,000 and €7,000 still to play for. In the end, even Diego Testa didn't get into the headsup, sending 10M over the line with A8 and running into Weiss's AK.
In HU, Gani Weiss with a stack of 25M faced Stanley Van Ree with a stack of 1.6M. Weiss gradually lost his huge chip lead thanks to Stanley's double ups. In the end, this HU lasted up to an hour and a half, although it seemed that it might be over after one game.
In the last game of the evening, players went all-in after a 736J turn. Stanley held the open with 98 and Gani two pair with J3. River 6 did not help the Dutch player, who took away €20,000 for the second place, and for the winner Gani Weiss, in addition to the tiger, took home a reward of a beautiful €27,000. Congratulations.
