Starting the Fan Club

, UTG led for 1,250, another player (who I believe was Italian) pushed all in, Bansi folded, and the initial bettor called. As the cards were revealed, it soon emerged that it was spade-dodging time, the Italian in search of a flush with

The Italian guy looked a bit confused, but after a moment's pause said "yes, no problem" and swiped the pad from my paws. Upon return, I was rather surprised to see that he had autographed my notepad, perhaps thinking that this was the birth of his fan club.
I've looked at his signature a number of times and not only am I unable to fathom why he thought I'd want his autograph (on a pad filled with my scribble from other hands, I might add), but I still can't read his name.
So, if you're wondering who the 'Italian guy' who won this pot is, then he is either:
(1) Cherlal Fallon
(2) Clurulal Gellon
(3) Elertal Sellion
(4) Alertal Jellan
(5) John Smith
