Entries 955

The People’s Poker Tour Main Event effectively came to an end with an 11-way deal, after recording a total of 955 entries across all flights. Daniele Trippi emerged as the winner, holding the largest stack at the table at the moment the agreement was reached.

For the Tuscan player, the deal resulted in a €23,500 first-place payout, lower than the €50,000 originally scheduled for the official winner, but secured without the need to play out the Final Table. A significant result nonetheless, both financially and in terms of the overall tournament run.

Speaking immediately after the deal, Trippi summed up his run as follows:

“It was a great run. I fired my first bullet on Friday and qualified straight away. Then I decided to play another flight to try to improve my stack, since there was also the chip leader bonus, and I managed to go deep there as well, bagging an additional 250,000 chips. Today everything went well, even though at 15 left I was probably the shortest stack.

Then two hands completely changed my tournament: first a double-up with Ace-Five against an opponent who called with Five-Seven suited, at a crucial moment, and shortly after a cooler against the same player, pocket Aces versus pocket Queens, in my favor.

Not long after that, play was stopped and we started discussing the numbers. I’m very happy with this win. Of course, appetite grows as you eat, and I would have liked to play the final stages as chip leader, but for a tournament of this level, this result is more than fine.”
