'Italian Guy' Revealed...

... and he's not Italian at all!

Yes, my inability to name the nationalities of players continues to flourish as I mistakenly identify the player who made the flush with {A-Spades}{10-Spades} a few posts earlier as Italian, when he is in fact Lebanese.

More importantly however, intrepid detective work here in the press room (mainly courtesy of Mad Harper of PokerStars who continually searched for names that included the letters 'cha') has led us to name our mystery man as Charbel Salloum. You'd think as his number one fan, I would already know his name, but either way, Salloum is now on 20,725 after busting those set of kings.

I fully intend to keep my autograph just in case he wins. I reckon I could get a least a fiver for it on Ebay. Go Salloum!
