Andrea Benelli opened to 120,000 with {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds} under the gun. Jordan Westmorland in positions made the call with {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Both blinds folded.

Benelli continued for 120,000 on {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Westmorland made the call. Both players checked the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn and the river paired the board again with the {9-Hearts}.

Westmorland bet 175,000 and Fundaro again called to see the river {q-Diamonds}.

One last bet of 475,000 from Westmorland and Fundaro let it go.

Bruno Stefanelli Eliminated in 6th Place (€102,700)

Bruno Stefanelli

Jordan Westmorland opened for 120,000 under the gun with {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Two positions down it was Bruno Stefanelli who shoved his 805,000 in with {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} from the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded, Westmorland made the call.

It was an unfair battle to go in and the flop gave both something to work with: {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Stefanelli flopped a gutshot, but the hearts were now dead as Westmorland flopped a flush draw.

The {4-Clubs} on the turn was a blank and so was the {10-Clubs} on the river. Bruno Stefanelli exits in 6th place and takes home €102,700). The remaining five players are all guaranteed €130,750.

Andrija Martic Wins the EPT10 Skrill Last Longer Competition

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The Skrill Last Longer competition has been being held at each stop on this season’s EPT, of which they’re an official sponsor. The promotion is simple – players sign up for the promotion either online (preregistration is available) or at the Skrill booth (which will be present at each stop); don a Skrill patch; and then aim to be the last man or woman standing. The last player remaining will then receive their buy-in back via their Skrill account.

In Sanremo, that man was Andrija Martic, who will receive his €4,900 buy-in back in addition to the €76,650 he earned for his seventh-place finish.

Andrija Martic

Fundaro Folds RIver

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Giacomo Fundaro raised to 130,000 from the cutoff with {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and Andrea Benelli in the big blind called with {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. The flop was {q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Both players checked and saw the turn card {9-Hearts}. Again both players checked and the river card was the {10-Spades}.

Benelli then bet out 340,000. Fundaro asked for the pot to be spread and gave it a few minutes thought. He had kept the pot small until the river but it was a pot sized bet on the river from big stack Benelli and that eventually persuaded Fundaro to fold.

Andrija Martic’s Departure In Seventh Lessens Chances Of It Raining Over The Main Event Final Table

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The average person breathes out half a little of CO2 per breath, which in the case of Jordan Westmorland and Andrija Martic is all water vapour. The pair of them draw regularly on e-cigarettes, which look more like miniature hukas, sending billows of water vapour into the air above the table. What chance rain, asks the PokerStars Blog.

Fundaro Bluffs

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Andrea Benelli opened for 120,000 under the gun holding {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

Giacomo Fundaro made it 265,000 from the button with a mere {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Benelli made the call.

On the {J-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop Benelli had no other option than to check-fold to Fundaro's 275,000 continuation bet.
