9th Place

Ivan Tononi

Ivan Tononi is our 9th place finisher are going out on a most brutal of hands, he was ruing his luck yesterday when he got KK in against 55 only for a 5 to pop up on the flop and said "I always run bad towards the end of these" after dropping as low as 60k he made a good comeback to make it to the final day's play.

I catch up with the action on a flop of 2x6x8x and Jean Claude Marets has led at the pot for 200k and Ivan comes over the top of him for 568k and gets the call.

Ivan - AA

Jean Claude - Js8s

Ivan looking in great shape for the double up when instantly the turn card is dealt he falls behind in the hand when a Jd appears. Now looking to either pair the board with one of the lower cards or hit his Ace to try and hang in.

A meaningless 7 on the river and Ivan has once more been on the receiving end of a horrible suckout.

Ivan walks away with €5240 but I am sure he would of loved to have gotten his hands on the 70k up top.
