Carlo Savinelli already looked distinctive before he put on a Marco Materazzi shirt. But while his beard and superman cap might stand out a bit, there was a story behind the shirt, as the PokerStars Blog reports.
Neither of the three tables has seen many flops as of lately. The one that did saw a raise of Fabio Sperling to 13,000, a call from Nikolay Komcharokov and Ivan Luca defended his big blind. On the
flop the action was checked to the Russian and he won the pot with a bet of 15,000.

One table contains three short stacks and Carlos Lopes just had to hand over his small blind and big blind.
First Fady Kamar moved all in for 88,000 chips to claim the blinds and antes. Next it was Joao Ribeiro with a raise to 12,500 and Lopes tank-folded in the big blind.
One hand later, David Vamplew moved all in for just over 70,000 from the cutoff and Lopes tank-folded after about three minutes.
Laurent Polito was all in at another table as well but neither opponent was willing to call.

Jonathan Little raised to 13,000 and was called by Tobias Peters in the cutoff. Jean-Noel Thorel on the button had other plans and made a three-bet to 35,000. Only Peters called to see a flop of
