Pagano Pays to See Flop
Team Pokerstars Pro Luca Pagano faced a third raise preflop courtesy of a player sat two to his right, and after a round of statue-sitting he made the call of what was now over 3,000. The flop arrived and in a fraction of the time it took him to decide to call preflop, his cards now sailed into the muck.
Luca Pagano has one of the foremost track records at the EPT, having graced the tournament circuit all the way back to its first incarnation (he cashed in Barcelona in 2004 too). In fact there aren't many countries he hasn't cashed in, as he has the record for the number of cashes (and keeps breaking his own record). Final tables and six figure wins are not uncommon (his largest being €337,000 for his sixth place at the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo in 2008) but he's yet to hoist a glass trophy here.
