ElkY Back in the Game After Confusing Ascani

With around 100,000 in the pot by the time we arrived on the river of the {2-Spades}

board, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier bet 44,400. Across the table, Luca Ascani checked his hole cards and dwelled up. He counted out the call and put it to one side, then mentally assessed the size of ElkY's remaining stack (105,000) and then dwelled up some more.

"Either you are bluffing or you are lucky," he told ElkY. Actually that seems to sum up an awful lot of situations in poker as a whole. But we digress. Ascani continued to tank, and eventually got involved in some kind of discussion with Michel Abecassis that resulted in the floor being called (presumably Abecassis called time at some point during the discussion) but before the floorman had got there, Ascani had called.
