Amendola Doubles Through O'Connell, Talking Italian

We arrived to see the cards being turned over, Alfonso Amendola against Kevin O'Connell again, Amendola all in this time.

Amendola: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
O'Connell: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Board: {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Amendola clapped in delight and we think said something in Italian as he rivered a full house and doubled to 450,000. O'Connell was left with 650,000. Another player took exception to the talking in Italian and piped up. Amendola claimed he'd been speaking to himself, although the other player pointed out that Amendola had Salvatore Bonavena, also Italian, sitting next to him. All the players had lapsed back into silence when we left the table.
