WSOP 2017, l’Italia punta su Sammartino, Pescatori e Kanit. Riusciranno a vincere il braccialetto?

Non ci sono italiani tra i primi 19 vincitori delle World Series of Poker 2017 di Las Vegas. Purtroppo nessun azzurro, nonostante alcune ottime prove, è riuscito a centrare l’obiettivo. Ma c’è ancora tanto tempo a disposizione…

Sono già 19 i titoli assegnati nelle World Series of Poker 2017 di Las Vegas. Un bottino che al momento non riguarda gli italiani, ancora a bocca asciutta nonostante qualche ottima prova. La dea bendata non ha infatti aiutato, come nei casi di Dario Sammartino e Max Pescatori… finiti rispettivamente terzo e quarto negli Eventi #6 ($111.111 High Roller for One Drop) e #14 ($1.500 H.O.R.S.E).

Ma non solo, visto che lo stesso ‘MadGenius’ ha appena sfiorato il mitico braccialetto delle WSOP pure nell’Evento #22, il 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship da 10.000 dollari di buy in, dove si è piazzato nono per quasi 20.000 dollari. Insomma, con un pizzico di fortuna, l’Italia poteva già avere all’attivo ben 3 braccialetti ed invece siamo ancora a ‘zero tituli’.

Un dato che speriamo di cambiare al più presto, anche grazie all’impresa di qualche outsider e, perchè no, di un Mustapa Kanit sceso in campo appena una volta. Il fenomeno nato ad Alessandria, che ricordiamo è al momento l’italiano più vincente nella storia del poker live, si è presentato ai tavoli del Rio Casino soltanto per il One Drop, forse in attesa dell’arrivo del Main Event, fissato per le prime settimane di luglio.

Intanto ci godiamo comunque un Sammartino a livelli stratosferici ed un ‘Pirata Italiano’ sempre proficuo nelle varianti.
