Slovakian Wins Italian Poker Tour Nova Gorica

Anton Karasinsky has become the latest Italian Poker Tour title holder. The Slovakian beat 285 opponents to the lion’s share of the €554,840 prize pool at Slovenia’s Perla Casino in Nova Gorica, and survived a roller coaster ride on the final table to earn the €140,000 for first place.

Runner-up Carla Solinas entered the final table as monster chip leader with more than twice the amount of chips as the player next on the list, Dubravko Bagic. It wasn’t to be for Solinas or Bagic however with Bagic finishing fifth and Solinas narrowly missing out on gold.

The final hand saw Solinas move all in with 6 5 against Karasinky’s pocket nines. The board fell J J 2 A Q and with that Karasinsky stepped on Solinas’ dreams. She received €74,000 for second place.

Here are the final table results, payouts, and Card Player POY Points awarded:

1. Anton Karasinsky €140,000 (684 POY Points)
2. Carla Solinas €74,000 (570 POY Points)
