Mario Adinolfi has just brought a smile to the face of every player seated at his table - except one.
Leo Margets opened the action from early position; Adinolfi called in the next seat before there was a three bet in the next seat. Margets folded, but Adinolfi made the call. The Italian then proceeded to snap-check-call three barrels from the unidentified three-bettor on a board of

for the rivered two-pair – cue the laughter.
