WSOP 2017, Salvatore Bonavena: “Partirò per Las Vegas il 29 giugno. Vado per vincere il Main Event!”

Salvatore Bonavena sarà tra gli azzurri che voleranno a Las Vegas per giocare gli eventi delle World Series of Poker 2017. Il campione di Cessaniti ci ha appena detto di aver già preparato tutto per la partenza, fissata per il 29 giugno.

Sono sempre di più gli italiani impegnati nei preparativi per la lunga trasferta negli Stati Uniti d’America, in vista delle oramai prossime World Series of Poker 2017. Tra questi c’è anche il vincitore di un titolo EPT Salvatore Bonavena, già carico a mille per una nuova avventura da vivere ai tavoli dello splendido Rio All Suitte Hotel & Casinò di Las Vegas.

Il 52enne calabrese ci ha raccontato di non vedere l’ora di partire per provare a vincere il mitico braccialetto delle WSOP: “Ho tutto pronto. Partirò giovedì 29 giugno, solo perché mio figlio compie 18 anni e non voglio di certo mancare. Questo è il nono anno di fila che vado e stavolta più che mai voglio lasciare il segno.

Giocherò diversi eventi ma il mio obiettivo è senza dubbi il Main Event. Voglio vincerlo e farò di tutto per riuscirci. Ripeto, vado per fare una grande impresa… lo prometto!“.

Vedremo quindi un Bonavena in modalità ‘attacco’, come lo abbiamo già visto tante volte nei tornei giocati in giro per il mondo. Intanto cominciano a pensare alla trasferta anche altri ottimi giocatori come Luca Moschitta, Riccardo Lacchinelli ed Eros Nastasi: “Mi sto organizzando, tra qualche giorno farò un’analisi più approfondita per vedere come preparare al meglio tutto. Sto valutando diverse cose, ma ovviamente il pensiero delle WSOP prevale su tutto.“

Ancora indeciso sul da farsi Andrea Crobu, appena tornato da una trasferta non fortunatissima a Montecarlo: “La voglia di partire c’è, ma devo pensarci ancora un attimo. Sto cercando di organizzarmi al meglio, vediamo che succede.“

Sono già sicuri di non andare invece Andrea Carini e Massimo De Mario. L’ex pro di Sisal Poker ha appena confermato che preferisce restare a casa per le troppe spese da affrontare nella trasferta. Il giovanissimo talento che vive in Germania non può purtroppo partire perché ancora ‘piccolo’ per la legge americana: “Ho 20 anni e mi tocca restare a casa. Non vedo l’ora di fare il prossimo compleanno e poi volare finalmente a Las Vegas!“
