Forza Italia

: 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Kevin MacPhee had been blinded and anted off to just 550,000 when Roberto Nulli opened for 100,000. MacPhee, in the small blind this time, sat back in his chair. "Where are you from?" he asked Nulli. Answer: Italy.
"Wow," said Marcin Horecki, "Four Italians. Spaghetti."
He was of course talking about the three bona fide Italian nationals, Nulli, Marco Leonzio, Emilliano Bono, and also Roberto Romanello. Though the latter is technically Welsh, he is, as he put it, "A full-blooded Italian."
"I represent five countries," Romanello, we think, lied.
"I represent a whole hemisphere," countered MacPhee.
Either way he folded, and Nulli got the pot.
