Ascari Prospect

Fabrizio Ascari - Certifiably insane.
Fabrizio Ascari - Certifiably insane.

With the flop reading {7-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} Frederick Jensen saw his flop bet of 17,500 check-raised to 43,000 by the vociferous Italian Fabrizio Ascari. Jensen called and they saw a {5-Clubs} turn.

Ascari now moved all-in and Jensen snap-called turning over {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} but Ascari had gotten extremely lucky with {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} turning a set. Jensen put his hands on his head in disbelief as the {J-Spades} river came down. Ascari ran across to the nearest wall with his hands above his head in celebration as though he'd just won the 100m at the Olympics.

"I'm not fishing, I'm not fishing," he cried, "I'm lucky but I'm not fishing! I win the tournament, you all watch out, I am very crazy man!" He then turned to Jensen, the latter with a look on his face as though someone had just run over his puppy, and continued, "Sorry man, you have bad luck, I'm not fishing, I'm lucky but not fishing."

Overcome with emotion, Ascari even had time to turn and kiss his masseuse on the cheek and she tried to stiffle a giggle. Ascari now has 500,000 while Jensen is left with 170,000 remaining.
