Gino is a relative newcomer to poker after taking the game up 18 months ago. Nevertheless, the Sicily-born 46-year-old is already pretty successful and currently ranked 26th in the Hendon Mob’s All Time Italy money list. He won the Campione d’Italia €1k Main Event this summer, was a runner-up in the 2006 Italian Championship, and also achieved a further win and two final tables in side events. His total live tourney winnings are now nearly $130k – not to mention EPT Prague. Gino, an antiques dealer by profession, is currently single but hoping to find love in the Czech capital. In Italy he’s well-known for his Mephistophelean look, hence his nickname “El Diablo”. He mainly plays live (both tournaments and cash) – and also a small amount on online on PokerStars as ‘jim29’.
