The champion is still him: Gabriele Casti passes the halfway point of his week of participation in "The Wheel of Fortune", hitting the record win of 286,400 euros (plus a Grande Panda).

Yesterday, giving the teacher from Selegas a hard time in what was his seventh episode of the Canale 5 game show hosted by Gerry Scotti, Prisca from Rome and Stefano from Striano, also a teacher (in Abbiategrasso), who followed him until the end.

The race starts well for both, one solution each, while the opponent, who works in a call center, struggles.

As the wheel spins, Gabriele stumbles into bankruptcy, but slowly regains his footing, and between rounds he puts away €9,300 against Prisca's €3,100 and Stefano's €1,000. Between the Express and the Triplete, Gabriele continues to lead, but the final round is won by his Neapolitan colleague, who, however, for €100, fails to win the bet.

The 34-year-old Sardinian, who lives and works in Rome, where he plays for the local dodgeball team, arrives at The Wheel of Wonders with €21,300, which, when added to the €10,000 he won in the last match and the €255,100 he won the day before, brings the total to €286,400. He's just shy of reaching €300,000: tonight on Canale 5.
