With a solid cash locked up, the players are quite incentivised to play fast and furious poker to win the final €5,700 as well as that trip to South Africa.
Gabriel Rymar was the first to exemplify this attitude, jamming with A-3 and unfortunately running into the Ah Qs of Mario Niciforo. A queen on the flop saw him putting on his coat and the rest of the board didn’t help so that was it for Rymar in 4th for €11,012 following their deal.
Gordo was also in a rush to make something happen, jamming his last 2 million in on the button with the speculative 8c Tc, only for Niciforo to make a good call with Kc 9c. He added another scalp to his trophy cabinet as the board ran out an exciting, but ultimately Italian friendly, 9s 7c 5d Ks 4d.
Soooo…..heads up for the trophy! Colin Horgan versus Mario Niciforo, the Italian holding a decent lead in a bid to win the remaining €5,700, Hendon Mob Trophy and a trip to South Africa…
