No Luck Yeah for Ascari
Level 7
: 300/600, 50 ante
By the time we got there, a complete board reading was out on the felt. The dealer was announcing, "Eight thousand. Eight thousand," over and over again. Kevin Vandersmissen had bet 8,000. Fabrizio Ascari was removing his earphones and looking around in bewilderment, as though he'd just woken up and suddenly realised that he was still in the hand.
So now aware that he was expected to make a decision, Ascari tanked up for a little while. He said something that sounded like, "Jacks for me. Jacks for me," and he made the call - but a second later he was banging the table and declaring, "Very good," followed by, "No luck yeah."
Vandersmissen: for a set - now up to 63,000
Ascari: for just a pair of kings - now down to 57,000
