The British cash-game legend Ben Roberts is making a rare appearance in a major tournament at EPT Sanremo. Part of the reason is that he's here to accompany his near chip-leading son Jamie. PokerStars Blog caught up with one of the game's elite father-and-son teams. Read about it by clicking here.
After a raise to 2,400 and two callers we saw the flop and the action checked to Luigi Pignataro. The Italian bet 18,000 with 2,000 behind and after some consideration, Jesper Feddersen called out of the big blind. Pedro Pellicer moved all in for 32,600 and Feddersen called off with the biggest stack of all players involved.
Showdown:
Feddersen
Pignataro
Pellicer
The turn and the river both blanked and Feddersen is now short. Only five tables remain in the second tournament area and will be closed as soon as possible.

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst has been presented with a golden opportunity here in the EPT10 Sanremo Main Event. She currently sits second on the EPT10 Player of the Year Leaderboard behind Ole Schemion. The young German busted early on Day 1b, which means Selbst has a chance to add some points to her total and close the gap between her and Schemion.
In a recent hand, there was around 6,000 in the pot and a board reading when Selbst checked from the big blind and Ismail Erkenov bet 3,500 from middle position. Selbst pushed back with a check-raise to 10,500, leaving herself about 11,000 behind.
Erkenov thought for a bit before three-betting, and Selbst snap-called off her stack.

Erkenov had picked the wrong spot, and he paid the price after the blanked on the river.

Tom Hall opened the action on the button with a raise to 2,000 and the small blind called. In the big blind Eros Nastasi three-bet to 6,200 and both opponents called. On the flop, Nastasi check-raised from 11,400 to 24,000 and Hall, as the aggressor, moved all in for another 25,000. Nastasi called with the and Hall turned over the .
The turn was not the card he wanted to see. It gave Hall a full house, but it also gave the Italian a straight flush! Interestingly, the river would have provided the same straight flush as well.
