John Eames and Alessandro Speranza have both been eliminated from Day 1a of WPT Venice but we are pretty sure both will return tomorrow. The Eames elimination is coming up on video so for the time being here is the elimination of Speranza.
Stefano Felappi raises to 1,500 from under the gun and Alessandro Chechini calls on the button. Alessandro Speranza is seated in the small blind with only 4,600 chips and he moves them all-in. Felappi makes the call and Chechini lets the two of them dance.
Felappi: [Td] [Th]
Speranza: [Ks] [6s]
Board: [7c] [4c] [2h] [3s] [9d]
Felappi now has 50,000 and Speranza joins his brother as a possible re-entry for Day 1b.
