		The last Race Trophy semi-final is done and dusted and it's now time to look forward to the grand final in Vienna next month. The 6 lucky finalists have all secured themselves a minimum of $10,000 and will be fighting it out for the lion's share of the $500,000 prize pool. There's still time though for a quick photo recap of this weekend's final semi-final in Italy. As usual, Sunday saw us head back to the track to watch the big races. As usual as well, we had the very best seats in the house in the VIP club. A highlight for the players was the gridwalk before the main race, which gave ..Mr77.., DK_DONKEY and STAMFORD05 the chance to have a chat with their compatriots Rydell, Poulsen and Priaulx. Getting to walk on the track and speak with the drivers like that really is an experience that money can't buy - you just have to play on PokerRoom.com! The best seats in the house ..Mr77.. showing his poker face DK_DONKEY offers his compatriot some advice! ..Mr77.. with the future ..Mrs77.. , or so he says.... It was then time for the famous farewell party. We headed to one of the oldest and best restaurants in Milan, Boeucc, for a sumptuous banquet and more than a few bottles of fine Italian wine. We were also joined by illusionista's Uncle who is also a Team PokerRoom member and is as we speak jetting off to Milan to take down the PokerNews Cup! Our own private room at the incredible Bouecc restaurant Heading back to the hotel, all that was left to do was drink the hotel bar dry, try and figure out how STAMFORD05 gave himself a black eye on the first night, and say our goodbyes. As ever, it's been a pleasure to get to know all the players (it really does make this job so enjoyable) and I hope I'll be seeing you all again at future events. Ciao for now! STAMFORD05: Meet them and beat them the incredible Duomo in Milan The Team outside the Duomo Read the full blog post here.
