Viva Italia!

Considering I am a solid 25% Italian and have a vacation planned in Italy this October, I’m rooting for the Italians this WSOP. And mama mia, they are doing it. With two bracelets thus far and more than a few events to go, this could be the year of the Italians!
.
In an attempt to destroy their language congratulate them, here goes:

Maximillian Pescatori, il pirata italiano, ha 37 anni e grandina da Milano. Ha vinto il suo secondo braccialetto di WSOP questo anno. Ha vinto lo stesso giorno quello primo di 2006 mentre l’Italia ha vinto la tazza di mondo.

Dario Minieri è 23 anni e vite a Roma. Ha vinto il suo primo braccialetto di WSOP questo anno. È stato conosciuto per la conquista della Porsche su PokerStars ma è inoltre un riuscito giocatore in tensione.

Congratulazioni a massimo ed a Dario! Gli italiani intorno al mondo sono fieri di voi!

    Hmm, it’s kinda like Spanish, only different … When are the Mexicans gonna win bracelets so I can cheer in a broken language?

    BTW, Jen, I am solid 25 percent Italian, too. We have so much in common!

    So the two of you now could root for Dario Alioto, current chip leader in the $1,500 PLO w/rebuy final table

    Dan, I might have known you had some Italian in you. Let’s talk about it over some ravioli.

    Kevin, I am rooting for Dario Alioto!

    But he’s not Mexican! And what fun is it to root for the chipleader?

    Jen, which 25% exactly is Italian.

    Dan–nevermind. No really, nevermind!

    50% myself FYI.

    I’m pretty sure it’s the hairy shoulders, Shrink, thanks for asking!

    So perhaps that’s another way we need to sort WSOP finishers — on a genetic percentage scale?

    Say Jen were to win the ladies event — half her winnings get credited to California, 25 percent to Missouri, and 25 percent to Italy?
