EPT sees first ever Italian champion
This past weekend, the European Poker Tournament (EPT) saw the first ever Italian poker player walk away with the title at the Prague Main Event. Salvatore Bonavena is a newcomer to the poker scene, whose only reasonably notable former cash in was 1,850 Euro for a 36th place in the 7 Tappa Campionato Italiano Main Event in February 2008. However, for his triumph at the EPT Prague, he collected a grande €774,000! Coincidentally the runner-up was also an Italian, Massimo Di Cicco, who walked away with €445,000
