According to the pokerstarsblog.it, the first elimination of the final table came when Marko Mikovic opened for 80,000 under the gun only to have Treccarichi three-bet all in from the big blind. Mikovic snap-called off his remaining hips, but discovered he’d just been coolered.
Treccarichi: A♦A♥
Mikovic: K♦K♠
The board ran out a clean 5♥6♦J♣2♠10♠, and Mikovic had to settle for ninth place and €6,850. Before long Federico Piroddi and Claudio Daffinà joined him on the rail in eighth and seventh place respectively.
After Leonardo Parmiggiani exited in sixth place, well-known Italian pro Andrea Dato followed him out the door in fifth. It happened when Dato opened for 160,000 from the cutoff and received two calls, which brought about a flop of Q♣8♠5♦. All three players checked, and then Marcello Miniucchi bet the 6♥ turn. Only Dato called and then the two got it all in when an Ax hit the river. Dato held the K♠7♦ for a bluff, which was no good against the Q♥J♦ of Miniucchi.
Not long after, Gianluca Speranza got his stack all in holding the A♠K♥ and was in prime shape to double against the A♥4♠ of Miniucchi. Unfortunately for Speranza, a four fell on the turn and he was out in fourth place for €25,000.
After Dario Sammartino fell in third place, Miniucchi began heads-up play with a slight chip lead over Treccarichi. However, the man known as “cesarino90” held strong and eventually took over the chip lead. Miniucchi, who had fallen to a short stack, then tried to steal from the button by moving all in with the Q♠4♥, but Treccarichi called from the big blind with the A♦6♣. The best hand held and Miniucchi had to settle for second place and a €72,500 consolation prize.
Congratulations to Walter "cesarino90" Treccarichi, winner of the PokerStars.IT IPT Saint Vincent for €87,500.
