Since the beginning of this week, it’s on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, on the shores of Lido San Nicolò, and Chioggia, in Venice, that the tournament stopped. The WPT Venice Main Event began on Tuesday with the participation of 65 players from around the world. This event of € 3,300 entrance fee allowed Stephen Behm to lead temporarily face to top players like Matt Salsberg, Mike Sexton, Gaelle Baumann, Kara Scott, Marvin Rettenmaier, Daniel Cates, Martin Staszko and Guillaume Darcourt. The day was very short for some because pro players like Andrey Pateychuk and Guillaume Darcourt were forced to leave the game at the 3rd level. Then, the series continued with the elimination of the runner-up of the WSOP 2011, Martin Staszko. We also find in the list of eliminated of the Day 1A Andrea Dato, Ludovic Lacay, Sandor Demjan, Henry Koivisto, Mario Adinolfi, Jackson Genovesi and Benjamin Pollak.
