Nicola Boldini

Nicola Boldini is an Italian poker player who has competed in several live tournaments in Italy and Europe. His recorded earnings begin in 2010, with a notable result in the Shark Bay Main Event.

In April 2010, Boldini finished 3rd in the Shark Bay NL Hold'em Main Event, earning €11,592 (IPOY 320 points). This was his first recorded cash and remains one of his top scores.

In June 2011, Boldini participated in the IPT Campione Main Event, finishing 56th for €3,053 (IPOY 86 points).

Boldini's most notable performance came at the 2011 PokerStars.it EPT San Remo Main Event. He made it to Day 5 and finished 24th out of 987 entrants, earning €22,500 (officially listed as €22,500, though some reports stated €25,000). During Day 4, he was involved in a hand where he attempted a bluff against Nicolo Grieco: on a board with four clubs, Boldini bet the turn and river only to be hero-called by Grieco who showed the winning hand. On Day 5, Boldini was eliminated by Xuan Liu when his A♠5♠ failed to outdraw Liu's pocket jacks, despite flopping a flush draw.

In April 2012, Boldini placed 13th in the Saint Vincent Poker NL Hold'em Main Event, winning €2,500.

Based on limited hand history reports, Boldini appears capable of aggressive bluffing, as seen in the EPT San Remo hand where he fired multiple streets with a missed draw. He also showed willingness to move all-in with suited aces (like A♠5♠), suggesting a solid understanding of tournament dynamics and stack preservation.

Boldini's recorded live tournament cashes total €39,645, with his best result being the 24th-place finish in a major EPT event. He remains an active but less publicized figure in the Italian poker scene.
