Pagano Doubles Illiano
Luca Pagano opened from late position for 2,800 only to be three-bet by Alfonso Illiano from the button. Pagano was facing a raise to 6,100 and decided to four-bet his opponent all in by plopping down a large stack of blue t5,000 chips. Illiano called and showed 
which was ahead of Pagano's 
.
The board ran out 
and Pagano was forced to ship 27,700 over to Illiano. Pagano is now sitting on about 57,000.

Day 2 in History

A look at this day in the history of EPT Sanremo, where champions are made and some guy called Mercier gets his first mention on the PokerStars Blog.
Blain Magically Finds Kings in the Big Blind
It's never nice when you're short stacked and there is action on your big blind, unless you look down and see 
. Just ask Dermot Blain.
There was an under the gun raise and a flat call from Maxime Conte in mid position before Blain moved all in for 28,800 from the big blind.
Conte called with pocket eights after the original raiser folded but failed to find a two-outer on the 
board.

Roy Gone, Lovgren Thriving, and Ainsworth Surviving
We didn't catch the hand, but Alain Roy has been eliminated from the tournament. In the every next hand after his demise, Sofia Lovgren opened for 2,700 from the cutoff only to have Team PokerStars Pro Jude Ainsworth three-bet to 5,900 from the small blind. Lovgren, who is up considerably since the last time we checked in with her, sent her cards to the muck.
