Marco Coccone during the 2025 Battle of Malta.

Anargyros Loizos opened to 30,000 from UTG. S8 called from the Lo-jack, and so did Georgios Garnelis from the Button. Then, from the Big Blind, Marco Coccone went all in for 485,000. Action folded back to Garnelis who took his time, looking up to the big tournament information screen in order to make the correct decision. Eventually, Garnelis made the call being the player at risk.

Marco Coccone: K♠K♣
Georgios Garnelis: 7♥7♦

In an almost humoristic way, the dealer slapped down the flop on the table, only revealing the 7♣ in the window. He then spread the cards out revealing K♦A♥7♣. “Si”, Coccone said as the turn 6♠ was dealt. “Si si si si”, he continued and the river came 5♠. “Si”, Coccone ended his monologue as Garnelis went to collect his €1,360 payout.

Marco Coccone: 950,000
Georgios Garnelis: 0
