Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Around 25,000 was in the pot on a board of 3♠5♦4♠3♥ when Abraham Serrano moved all in for 31,500 in middle position.
"Ay, ay, ay," Nicola D'Aquaro said as he began tanking in early position. The two players then exchanged a friendly pat on the back and began singing the Italian national anthem together.
D'Aquaro eventually called and Serrano turned over 7♦6♦ for a flopped straight. D'Aquara was left with A♥2♠ for a lower flopped straight and handed over most of his stack once the 6♣ completed the board.
