Queue, triumph over D’Avanzo and final embrace
When it was already dawn in Italy, theSan Marino IPO of this beginning 2023 has found its winner in Fabio Coda, who also started leading the final table. Great protagonist Armando D’Avanzowho moved the final table to finish second.
San Marino IPO: exciting final day with final embrace
So Fabio Coda winner but lots of applause also for Armando D’Avanzo, real animator of the last day. Indeed, the good Armando had also run into a bad hit 14 to the left, when he had left a large portion of the stack due to an ill-timed bluff with T5o against aces.
Final table of chip counting
However, at the final table the Campanian had managed to climb back to almost 16 million, even though Coda and Pabirci were ahead of him:
Seat 1: Giovanni Giudice 11,850,000
2nd place: Armando D’Avanzo 15,850,000
Seat 3: Stoyan Malashevski 6,370,000
Seat 4: Antonio Capoluongo 9,700,000
Seat 5: Vasyl Palandiuk 12,050,000
Seat 6: Fabio Coda 29,250,000
Seat 7: Viktor Pobirci 26,725,000
Seat 8: Andrea Saftich 6,200,000
The final table
The first victim is John Judgeperhaps the most technically experienced player and lotto preparer as well chip leader at the start of the day. Unfortunately for him, he decides to 4-bet shove for 9 million total (at that moment blinds 200k/400k bb ante 400k) on D’Avanzo’s 2.3 million 3bet who had KK. Only 99 for Giudice, who thus sits down at the cash desk to collect the €19,702 prize.
After a few orbits it’s the turn of Saftich, another rather short player. And once again the “killer” is D’Avanzo, who calls again with 99 and finds himself in a coinflip with his rival’s QJs. The board is mocking: Q, 8, J, 5 and…. a giant 10 on the river sent D’Avanzo straight, sending Saftich out of the tournament with €30,572 in prize money.
Stoyan’s fate was also marked Malashevskiwho sends for 6.4 million with JJ on the opening of the usual D’Avanzo he has a j . Palandiuk pins AA and decides to isolate himself re-shovando to cover Malashevski. Armando thinks about it, he has to put about 9 million more on a stack of about 32. Eventually he wisely folds, and Palandiuk dominates the showdown. For Malashevski €40,121.
D’Avanzo always at the center of the action
The orbits go by and it gets harder and harder for the shallower players. At one point, from UTG Palandiuk decide to send for about 7.2 million with a 3 (blinds 300k/600k), but finds the usual D’Avanzo with pocket tens in the small blind. Another elimination caused by the Campania player, who is starting phase 4 left at the head of 50 million, on Coda (31), Pobirci (21) and Capoluongo (15).
Next to go is the short Capolungo, who tries to steal with J and 10 but finds Pobirci full with AK. I recommend 5 5 5 6 9 and there are 3 left.
The same Forbid us he finds himself in the shoes of the shortest and is first deluded and then disappointed by the lady luck. Viktor doubles up against Coda, who then busts him in another preflop match, A5 vs K2o and Pobirci already draw dead on the A 5 5 T turn.
Straight
As a result, Fabio Coda clearly takes the lead in the final heads-up:
- Fabio Coda 79 million
- Armando D’Avanzo 39 million
D’Avanzo nibbles ten million from his rival, before the clash that closes everything. We end up with the remains, D’Avanzo with k q and Tail with 10 10. The last board of this San Marino 2023 IPO is 6 4 8 9 2 : Coda wins and instinctively embraces his rival, bursting into tears of liberation.
A beautiful picture of sport between the two, which further embellishes the finale of this great tournament.
