76 entries to warm up on the Warm-Up

The Circus Namur French Open festival kicked off on Sunday September 3 with the €150 Sunday Warm-Up tournament. 

The event attracted 76 entrants for a prizepool of €9,542 to be shared between the final 11 survivors. 

It took just over 6 hours of play to get into the money and secure a €235 min-cash. Claudio Coppolino made the bubble with Ace-King, he couldn't find any help on the board against his opponent's Queens... worse, another player was all-in on the other table but those shorts doubled up! 

The final is underway, and Sandro Gangi, Fabien Perrot and Marceau Dethiere are still in the running for the €2,671 first prize...

6 on Warm-Up

The last six players in the running secured a little more than the original 3rd place as they were caught out by the structure of a tournament played on 20-minute levels. These players cashed in for €1,310... they then flashed for the trophy, with Sandro Gangi taking the spoils.
