Amateur poker player Giovanni Rosadoni (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-171st) sure picked a good time to win his first major poker tournament.
Although he needed an extra day to do it, Rosadoni finally disposed of popular pro Dan O'Brien (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 143rd) heads-up to pickup a WSOP bracelet in the 3K NLH Shootout event at WSOP Europe in Cannes, France.
O'Brien - who final tabled the Partouche Grand Final earlier this month - started the day as the short stack but he had the lead late and had his opponent up against the ropes ... only to see Rosadoni double-up with Kings and take control of this event.
It's certainly not the result that John Monnette (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-4th) was looking for, but, his third place result will allow him to move up a couple of spots to #4 overall on the Player of the Year Leaderboard. Monnette joins Big One for One Drop winner Antonio Esfandiari in fourth position.
Two-time WSOP bracelet winner and defending IPT San Remo Champ Oleksii Kovalchuk (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 18th), Adrien Allain (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-1,199th), EPT Deauville side event runner-up Paul Guichard (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-200th), EPT Deauville NLH side event winner Roman Romanovksyi (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 203rd) and EPT founder John Duthie (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-2,110h) all some of the notable players who collected POY points in this event.
