No Soup For You Dario or Shannon

The EPT stop in San Remo Italy is over. An American , Jason Mercier, ended up winning the near 1 million pound prize. The bigger story was that hometown hero Dario Minieri lost a big race three handed to bust with a quarter million pound win.

Most people remember Dario from his deep run in last years World Series of Poker Main Event. He has a penchant to wear scarves at the table. Uh Ok. Well it was a great tournament and the European Poker Tour keeps on chugging.

Also Shannon Shorr missed a good opportunity to take down a nice win in the prelims of WPT championship. In the 2k buy in Shannon went in third and busted in 7th for only 8500ish. Keep your head up kid. Thayer Rasmussen, Jon Kalmar and Peter Neff was also at this final table with Eric"Basebaldy" Baldwin taking home almost $150k. Sweet.
