Firstly, Alex Fitzgerald (AKA Assassinato) finished 7th in the EPT San Remo. The PokerStars blog had a live feed of the final table but I was at home on a wireless plug-in modem so it wasn't practical to watch much of it. I kept up to date on the blog and the key hand that ended it for Alex was when he re-raised all-in on someone with ace king. The original raiser called turning over pocket jacks and Alex's hand didn't improve. His stack was crippled and he was out shortly after. While disappointed he didn't last longer on the final table, he did walk away with 171,000 euros.
I hoped Alex might give more of a breakdown of the tournament on his blog but I think he's happy to just be home catching up on everyday life. Here is the main post he wrote about the final table achievement and the payday and here's an article that mentions him in the top 10 online players to watch at the World Series of Poker (if he actually goes).
Elsewhere, I had hoped Joe Hachem might get deep at the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo but unfortunately he was out in day 3. Annette Obrestad however made it to the final two tables finishing in 13th place and picking up 77,000 euros for her efforts.
Pieter de Korver took out the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo, not Joe or Annette as I had hoped
