De Vivo cashed in the 2008 World Series Main Event, and at a side event at EPT Prague in 2007, but his best results have come in Italy, where he became Italian champion for his performances in 2008.
De Vivo spent the first three days of EPT Copenhagen short stacked and card dead, but two hands helped him on his way, the first a piece of luck, when his pocket eights beat aces. Then on day four he doubled through Roberto Romanello, leaving him with the chip lead going into the final.
