Gianni DiRenzo  is a  professional poker player  who took part in the World Series of Poker in 2010 as part of the team of a renowned online poker site. He was the last player of the team standing up to the main event of the WSOP.

DiRenzo, who is one of the two Italian players to remain in the main event of the  WSOP  with 30 other players, entered on the seventh day of the poker tournament with 2.2 million dollars in chips. He did not take many risks until he had to play a poker hand with the President of the Slovak Sports Federation, Dag Palovic.

Being on an early position, Gianni opened with a bet of 350,000, which only resulted in Palovic going all-in. After some minutes of meditation, DiRenzo followed Palovic's bet with a strong pair of kings. Palovic only had pocket queens and once the flop brought a king, Palovic waited for two more queens that never arrived and he was eliminated from the  poker tournament  in 37th place.

Direnzo was left with 2.55 million in chips and ended in 29th place winning $255,000. DiRenzo has not had great achievements in poker tournaments but his poker game with Palovic will always be remembered. Practice your poker game playing  free poker.
