Everyone's favorite EPT regular, Luca Pagano seems to have left the building. We watched him drape his gig bag over his shoulder and walk briskly towards the exit, staring at the carpet the whole way. Luca is usually pretty friendly with us media-types, but we didn't dare halt his speedy exit this time as the scowl on his face told the story.

It's an unusually early exit for the bedazzled Italian pro, the EPT's all-time leading casher. He notched six in the last full EPT season, and he already cashed in the first two of Season 7, Tallinn and Vilamoura. Those two brought his total to a staggering sixteen EPT cashes in his career, but he won't be picking up another one here this week.
