It's that hour when Fabrizio Ascari begins talking, gesturing, insisting he'll tell bloggers what he folded, and oddly making friends with the guy to his left whom we think is Boris Caleta. Some of his limelight-hoggery seems to have rubbed off on Caleta, as this hand demonstrates:
Aaron Brackmann raised preflop to 1,900, called by Ascari on the button, Caleta in the small blind and then pushed over for just 12,000 by the big blind. Brackmann calmly moved all in for 24,000 and sat statue-still while the other two had a grin and a think. Ascari actually folded pretty quickly while Caleta (or his Seat 9 replacement) had a long think before folding 
face up.
Ascari roared with laughter as the short stack raced 
against 
(unsuccessfully) and left. The river card bricked a 
and Ascari picked it up and held it next to his face, giving me a knowing look.
"Yes, I folded pocket threes!" he said.
