Italian Pirate Fires the Bullets Amid Controversy

[user4144]

On the very last hand of the break, there was genuine controversy on the far table as Max Pescatori stumbled upon those dastardly American Airlines, {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}.

With the board reading {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}, Pescatori bet 10,000 only for his opponent to slide in the matching bet. Pescatori immediately flipped over his aces, only for his baffled opponent to ask, "Well, are you going to call?"

Equally confused, Pescatori inquired as to what his opponent was talking about.

"I said all in," he replied.

The tournament director was duly called in, but because nobody else had heard the declaration, the player was made to flat call only. However, if he wanted to win the pot, he had to reveal his hand.

He mucked.
