Blaschke needs to put in another 160k and he makes the\u00a0call. Mads shows Flop was About Roberto Garcia Santiago:<\/p>\n Who says celebrities cannot play poker?<\/p>\n Mostly known for his work behind the camera, Santiago Roberto is a famous comedy producer. And even though he is an amateur poker player, his style and humour brought him to where he is now – fighting it out for \u20ac315k.<\/p>\n Maybe he uses them to make a poker film because he already has experience in sports filming when he made the ‘El penalty mas largo del Mundo’.<\/p>\n 18.12<\/strong><\/p>\n Garcia Santiago takes a nice hand. Ali raises preflop 5ok,\u00a0Garcia calls. Flop is\u00a0 About Bartolome Gomila Romero:<\/p>\n Better known as Amatos, Gomila spends his days grinding in the absolute paradise.<\/p>\n It is not hard to make money when you live in Mallorca.<\/p>\n Maybe it is the Spanish sun or his persistance and solid game, maybe it is a bit of luck, but Gomila has achieved his biggest live result by taking a seat at this final table and is very proud of it.<\/p>\n 18.05<\/strong><\/p>\n Tristan doubles up!<\/strong> Tristan goes all in with 89k preflop.\u00a0Manuel Blaschke call.\u00a0Tristan shows 8 J.\u00a0Manuel K 9. Flop comes Q 10 A. Turn brings Tristan a lucky K and a straight.<\/p>\n About Manuel Cuberos Lopez Cozar:<\/p>\n Spanish poker legend, ambassador, winning player..Manuel sure has a nice poker CV. Although he has only started visiting live events last year, he already cashed all over Spain and even in Prague.<\/p>\n Often seen with his little notebook at the table, we wonder if he takes notes to analyze the players or his own hands.<\/p>\n Well, whatever he is doing, it seems to be working because his results are brilliant!<\/p>\n About Tristan Quentin Clemencon:<\/p>\n France is very excited as Tristan made it to another final table.<\/p>\n Only 20 and already had so many great results, Tristan was one of the finalist in Deauville in 2009, and is now sure he will take this one down.<\/p>\n In between all the amazing cashes he already made in such a long time, Tristan finds time for other activities.<\/p>\n This absolute sports freak plays tennis, basketball, football and cannot get enough of the great outdoors.<\/p>\n 17.53<\/strong><\/p>\n We are at level 23.
