2011 WSOPE: ROMANELLO, EAMES HIGHLIGHT EVENT #2 FINAL TABLE

PHOTO/SOURCE: POKERNEWS.com

Another final table is set on the French Rivera. Event #2 - No Limit Hold'em - will reach it's climax on Tuesday in Cannes, and we have a few intriguing characters assembled in what should be an interesting FT to say the least.

The main focus will be on Roberto Romanello. The defending EPT Prague and WPT Bratislava Champion is already assured to move up to 16th on the 2011 PTPR Tournament Poker Player of the Year Leaderboard - but - Romanello could not only crack the Top 15, he would skyrocket up to 3rd overall should he be able to take the win in this event.

Add to the fact that a victory would allow Romanello to enter the coveted Poker Triple Crown Club if he can collect the bracelet on Tuesday. Romanello will start the day third in chips.

PTPR Leaderboard Look-In (includes the minimum 12 PTPR Points Romanello is guaranteed to receive in this event):
13. Galen Hall, 245
14. Owais Ahmed, 241
15. Sam Stein, 228
16. Roberto Romanello, 224
17. Byron Kaverman, 221

Another big name still alive is John Eames. Eames is looking for a breakout event in 2011 - this could be just what the doctor ordered. Eames will be one of the shorter stacks but a few pot victories early and it's game on!

The chip leader is Gianluca Speranza. Eric Baudry and Andrew Hinrichsen are two other names to look for on Tuesday.

Final Table Chip Counts
1- Gianluca Speranza 757,000
2- Andrew Hinrichsen 434,000
3- Roberto Romanello 253,000
4- Nabil Nedjai 250,500
5- Eric Baudry 232,000
6- Tarcisio Bruno 153,500
7- John Eames 106,500
8- Gregory Lejolivet 95,000
