Thorn in Sarwer's Side
Raymi Sanchez Thorn raised to 3,700 from the cutoff, but Jeff Sarwer made it 10,500 to go from the small blind. Back to Thorn, who now went all in to cover Sarwer's remaining 50,000.
Sarwer paused for a moment. "Are you from Italy?" he asked.
"No," replied Thorn.
"Romania?" Sarwer tried again.
"No."
"Hey, what have you got against people from Italy?" chuckled Italian tablemate Attilio Donato.
"No, nothing," said Sarwer quickly. He paused again. "Maybe Bulgaria?"
Anyway, Sarwer eventually folded, and Thorn, who we understand is from Sweden, took the pot.
