Portaro Departed

Bruno Portaro has joined a growing list of live poker players hitting the rail.

In his final hand of the heads up tournament Portaro raised to 1,200 over a 300 chip raise from Guzzardi. Guzzardi pumped his stack into the middle as quick as he could, with Portaro snap calling.

Guzzardi tabled {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to be in front of Portaro's {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} sending Portaro to the rail. The Online Team have their first entry into the final eight.

There are seven games still in progress with the Online Team seemingly dominating across the board.
