Andrea Corinaldesi Triumphs at ISOP Campione Main Event

Andrea Corinaldesi emerged victorious at the Italian Series of Poker (ISOP) Campione Main Event, concluding Stage 3 of the season with a deal reached with Alessio Astone. Silvia Lollino secured a commendable third-place finish in the tournament held in Campione, Italy, on February 17, 2026.

Astone and Lollino Lead Early, Corinaldesi Gains Momentum

The final day of the tournament began with 26 players, with Giorgio Furlan initially holding the chip lead. However, the dynamics of the game quickly shifted, with Alessio Astone steadily climbing the ranks. Silvia Lollino also demonstrated strong performance, maintaining a competitive position throughout the event. Corinaldesi initially played a more conservative game, staying in the middle of the pack.

Corinaldesi’s Surge to Victory

The turning point came as Andrea Corinaldesi gained momentum, first doubling up against Astone and then eliminating Silvia Lollino in third place. The hand that sealed Lollino’s fate saw her with K10 against Corinaldesi’s 9, with a 7-4 flop and a 3 on the turn, leaving her drawing dead.
