Seat 1: Kalle Niemi, 22, Turku, Finland – PokerStars qualifier - 641,000
Kalle Niemi is a first year law student at the University of Turku who began playing poker three years ago. Incredibly, the EPT San Remo is his first ever live event and the guaranteed €114,000 he will earn beats anything he has ever won online. Normally an online tournament player, 22-year-old Niemi qualified on PokerStars for $27. Usually a $200 tournament player, Niemi admits that he has found live poker to be “not so hard” but that his short stack made things simpler, admitting to very little post flop play.

Seat 2: William Reynolds, 20, Sioux City, Iowa – PokerStars player - 2,531,000 chips
William has been playing poker since he was 16 and by the time he was 18, thought he might well be able to make a living at it. He decided to defer college for four months and see how poker worked out.. after 4 months, he decided to take a year off; after a year, he decided to take off another year! “I’m still hoping I don’t have to go to college”, he laughed. He plays mainly online and admits he hasn’t had much success so far in live events - although he’s competed in WPT Niagara tournament, LAPT Mexico, the PCA, EPT Copenhagen and EPT Dortmund. Online is another story however and he has thrived in the Sunday majors, winning a major event in October 2007 for $205,000, second in a $1,000 event on PokerStars in November for $60,000 and 4th in the $5,000 SCOOP PLO event last week for $87,000. Regarding San Remo, he’s been happy with his performance so far: “It’s been good. I don’t think I’ve made any mistakes.”

Seat 3: Alex “assassinato” Fitzgerald, 21, Seattle, USA – PokerStars player - 721,000 chips
Alex started playing poker when he was 15 - in 10c games at school. When he made $20 in a week, he said he felt like “a big baller” and then would spend it all on comic books. After working as a commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska, Alx then found work as a security guard in Seattle. He soon discovered he could snooze through his day job leaving him free to play poker eight hours a day. In his first month, he made $1,200 as a security guard and $7,000 online. But his online successes weren’t making him happy and, after winning a seat to APPT1 Manila, he decided to travel the world and has since played in numerous APPT, LAPT and EPT events as well as the Irish Open. He is now based in Malta. Making the San Remo final table is his biggest live win to date.

Seat 4: Danilo D'Ettoris, Rome, Italy – 686,000 chips
Business consultant Danilo is the only remaining Italian in a tournament which started with over 400 Italian players. He was born in Crotone but now lives in Rome and started playing poker in April 2008. He plays online on PokerStars but says he really enjoys the atmosphere of playing live. Danilo is a regular at the Cotton Club poker club in Rome and is enjoying their support here in San Remo.

Seat 5: Gustav Sundell, 23, from Pålänge, Kalix, Sweden – 2,615,000 chips
Gustav Sundell started playing poker in high school home games. When one of his friends won an online tournament, Gustav and his other friends also started playing online. For the last five years, he’s been playing poker full time. He mainly online cash games as he lives in a very remote part of Sweden which is nowhere near a casino. However he has two good live tournament cashes – 4th in the Malmo Open for €25,000 and 7th in the Swedish Open Poker Championships in 2007. He also played the WSOP last year and Season 4 EPTs in Dublin and Prague. He busted on Day 1 in all of them “that’s my speciality” he laughed. Normally he plays Omaha and prefers heads-up.

Seat 6: Constant Rijkenberg, 20, Amsterdam, Holland – 932,000 chips
Economics and business student Constant has been playing poker for around two years but rarely plays online, preferring live events at casinos all over Europe. He was enjoying such good results that around ten months ago, he decided to turn pro. However his fortunes immediately plummeted and by September last year, he had lost his entire bank roll. He would have given up playing altogether but, luckily, found himself in a high-stakes home game which reversed his fortunes again. He said: “I was totally broke but then I won back €30,000 in this home game. I’ve had an up and down career. I sold half my action to play in this tournament but my investors love me now! “

Seat 7: Dragan Galic, 36, from near Hamburg, Germany – 3,098,000 chips
Dragan Galic, a Croatian born in Germany, has been playing poker for three years and turned professional two years ago, after giving up his job as a mechanical engineer for BMW. Dragan clearly thrives in both live and online tournaments. He regularly plays big-field events in the casinos in Hamburg and most of the CAPT events in Austria. He said: “I don’t play cash. I like big fields, 200 plus.. the bigger the better". This might explain Dragan’s storming progress at EPT San Remo where he held the chip lead three nights running and has outlasted most of the record 1,178-strong field. Dragan’s wins were relatively modest until November 2008 when he won the PokerStars Sunday Million Warm-up for $77,897. He won again in January 2009 for $86,647, then final tabled a live CAPT event in Bregenz for €29,660 in February and only last week came second in a €2k CAPT main event in Salzburg last week for €40k. Out of some 35 CAPT events he’s entered, he has final tabled in eight. Divorced with two children, who he sees as much as possible, Dragan is also a keen Koren Tae-Kwon-Do martial arts practioner.

Seat 8: Ovi Balaj, 35, Romania – 625,000 chips
Ovi, who originally comes from Romania but now lives in Paris, has been playing poker for around six years. He mainly plays live, both tournaments and cash games and is a well-known regular at the Aviation Club in Paris. Although his live results are relatively modest, he has a string of cashes and final table appearances across Europe that have seen him rise to 7th in Romania's all time money list with over $72,000 in tournament winnings. He played EPT Deauville but bust right at the end of Day 1. He won his seat to EPT San Remo in a live satellite at Casino Sanremo and is enjoying his best ever result to date.

facciamo qualcosa di molto simile ad un sondaggio?!?

proviamo ad indicare chi sarà per noi il vincitore di questo EPT Sanremo...

io punto sul 23enne svedese specialista dell'Omaha Gustav Sundell!!!

certo che se vincesse il nostro D'Ettoris non avrei niente da ridire eh...

GL Danilo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D'ETTORIS: "PUNTO REYNOLDS"

Poco meno di mezz'ora al via di questo tavolo finale televisivo, e Danilo D'Ettoris, tutto considerato, non sente troppo la pressione. "Stanotte ho dormito tranquillo, quello che dovevo fare ormai l'ho fatto. Ora il torneo diventa una lotteria. Se nei primi due giri vedrò carte, le giocherò a dovere come ho fatto finora. Se invece non avrò carte per due giri, inizieremo a inventarci qualcosa".

Danilo ha le idee chiare anche sugli avversari: "Quello che mi dà più fastidio è William Reynolds. Ha un modo di giocare che mi dà noia. E poi è uno str...". Come sempre parli del diavolo, ed ecco che il biondino di Sioux, Iowa, si avvicina e D'Ettoris lo saluta stringedogli la mano. "Ti faccio vedere io" borbotta poi il calabrese tra sé e sé. Spiegagliela Danilo!!!

"Tra gli altri - continua l'azzurro - gioca molto bene Balaj, e anche Sundell è molto forte. Dragan Galic invece lo temo molto perché gli gira la carta. Per questo ieri gli ho fatto l'all in diretto con due donne prima del flop. Quello è capace di chiamarmi con l'asso carta alta e trovarla sul board".

Danilo chiude riguardando indietro al suo torneo. "Ho giocato molto bene, anche se me la sono vista brutta nel day2. Ero praticamente morto nella mano in cui io e Biccio Ascari siamo finiti all in al flop con lui avanti grazie a KJ e K sul board e io dietro con A8 e second pair all'8. L'asso al river mi ha salvato, e da lì in avanti, nell'ultima mezz'ora del secondo giorno, ho visto tre volte coppia di donne e il mio torneo ha cambiato faccia. Ora vediamo come andrà a finire. Ripeto, il mio l'ho fatto. Sono contento così". Ci mancherebbe altro...Pare tra l'altro, secondo fonti di corridoio, che D'Ettoris sia fresco di sponsorizzazione con People's Poker, che dovrebbe essersi accordata con lui per averlo tra le proprie file al Wpt di Venezia.
