Thorson Escapes Table Ascari

Now that the cameras have come out of the woodwork, Fabrizio Ascari is talking up a storm, whether he's in the hand or not. Being the dealer on his table must be like herding an angry cat.

Just now an early position shove saw Ascari fold, and then make a song and dance about it, writing his hand on a secret piece of paper and trying to pass it to seat 1, saying, "For when you fold! When you fold!"

This wasn't allowed.

Jens Thorson then called all-in for a very short 22,000, covered even by the other short stack. He showed {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

"ACE QUEEN!" shouted Ascari. "I folded ACE QUEEN! Don't bring an ace! No ace!" He continued in this manner while the two players with their lives on the line waited in tense silence. The board arrived {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Thorson left without a word.
