The Italian Big Game Live Broadcast Begins Today
According to EPT officials, EPT Berlin champion Kevin MacPhee, who is just days removed from winning the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event for his second WSOP bracelet, is one of the stars competing on the third edition of the Italian Big Game, which started earlier today. You can watch the live cards-up stream (in Italian, and subject to a one-hour security) from 2 p.m. for the first session, and at 7 p.m. on both PokerStars.tv and YouTube.
The show, an Italian version of the high-stakes cash game TV format created by PokerStars, will involve two four-hour sessions, each featuring five professional poker players and a "Loose Cannon" who has qualified on PokerStars.it. MacPhee will be sharing his table with, among others, French Maison du Bluff poker coach YoHan Viral and Clavio Anzalone, who became the youngest PokerStars.it SuperNova Elite in December 2012. In addition, Gianluca "FrullinoZIZI" Irpino and Francesco "cypuz" Cipolleschi will serve as the Loose Cannons.
Dario Sammartino, who has won both previous stops during IPT Saint Vincent and IPT Nova Gorica (for combined winnings of nearly €50k) will be joined by Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody, IPT7 Nova Gorica runner-up Christian Favale and 2014 WSOP $10k Heads-up champion Davide Suriano.
