Action Soon?

With the blinds now 40,000/80,000 with an 8,000 ante, this means that there's 144,000 in play preflop. About one-tenth of what Chen and Di Cicco each have; expect huge swings or it to be over soon...

Massimo Di Cicco Doubles Through... Again!

Eye of the Tiger
Eye of the Tiger
It's going to take a crowbar and a giant tub of Vaseline to get rid of this fella, as Massimo Di Cicco has shown the survival instincts of a a wild animal and doubled up yet again.

With Salvatore Bonavena making it 270,000, Di Cicco pushed for a total of 564,000 and we had ourselves a showdown... but no, hold on, no insta-call from Bonavena despite the pot odds.

After conversing momentarily in Italian, which was frowned upon by the commentary team, Bonavena shook his head and started counting out his chips. For a moment, he appeared as though he was contemplating a fold, but to the relief of almost everyone in the building, he made the call and slid the necessary chips across the felt.

Bonavena = {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Di Cicco = {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

Board = {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The Italians erupt, although some of them aren't sure whether they should be cheering or not.
