Ascari Entertains, Pagano Doubles

Fabrizio Ascari - Close to the chip lead, equally close to being insane.
Fabrizio Ascari - Close to the chip lead, equally close to being insane.

As Fabrizio Ascari was forced to fold his 3-bet to a shove, the dealer checked if the self-styled "Mad Italian" had actually folded.

Ascari launched into a little speech, "I have king-king off, it's an impossible call against the second chip leader here...hahahahhaa."

The next hand saw Luca Pagano raised to 5,700 and Andras Nemeth moved all-in from the button to cover. Pagano asked, "You have something like tens, jacks?" He then called all-in for 59,000.

The flop was {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {5-Hearts} helping neither player as suddenly Ascari began to sing, "Forever young, I want to be, forever young."

Unperturbed by this outbreak of Alphaville, the dealer put out the {8-Spades} turn and {5-Diamonds} river and Pagano, the EPT's record casher doubled to 120,000. Also, he managed to get Ascari to temporarily stop singing for a few moments, an even more impressive feat.
