WSOP 2017, Massimo Di Cicco: “Non vado! Non mi va di pagare il 30% di tasse in caso di vincita”

Massimo Di Cicco non sarà tra gli azzurri che si presenteranno a Las Vegas per giocare gli eventi delle World Series of Poker 2017. Il pro di Cassino ci ha infatti anticipato che non andrà perché non vuole “pagare il 30% di tasse in caso di vincita”.

Niente World Series of Poker (WSOP) per Massimo Di Cicco. Il player della provincia di Frosinone, vincitore in carriera di oltre 860.000 dollari, ci ha appena detto che non volerà a Las Vegas per una scelta economica: “Non andrò per un semplice motivo. Pagare il 30% di tasse in caso di vincita, proprio non mi va giù. Per questo motivo preferisco restare e giocare qualche evento in Europa con pagamento cash.“

Una scelta condivisibile che però lo allontana dalla più grande manifestazione pokeristica del mondo. Un vero peccato per Massimo, che dovrà per il momento rinunciare al sogno di vincere il mitico braccialetto: “Pazienza, mi rifarò ad agosto (dal 15 al 27) quando andrò sicuramente a giocare il PokerStars Championship di Barcellona.“

Intanto, sono diversi i suoi colleghi che hanno fatto sapere di essere già pronti per la partenza. Tra gli altri andranno negli Stati Uniti d’America il vincitore di un evento WSOP Davide ‘zizinho’ Suriano, Gaetano Preite, Giulio Spampinato, Alessandro Meoni, Aldo Zambruno, Enrico Mosca, Roby Begni e Salvatore Bonavena: “Ho tutto pronto, partirò giovedì 29 giugno. 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!”.

Saranno molto probabilmente del gruppo anche Mustapha ‘Mustacchione’ Kanit, Dario ‘MadGenius’ Sammartino, Walter Treccarichi ed il ‘Pirata Italiano’ Max Pescatori.
