As we reported earlier in our coverage, partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri won the Charity Event in style earlier today to raise €10,000 for the Lindsey Lodge Hospice. After the event, Breviglieri entered and was eliminated from the Main Event before doing the same in the €110 King's Big Bang. She shared she doesn't plan to re-enter either event today and might hop into a cash game. She also intends to join tomorrow's Day 1f field of the Main Event.
