Will Failla Watched His Pal Big Show Caldo Win a Thrilling Hand

With the booming voice of Will "The Thrill" Failla providing a boisterous background, we watched as his friend from the East Coast poker scene James "Big Show Caldo" Calderaro moved all in for 23,800.

As the man they call "The Thrill" escorted Michael Borovetz - a third member of this crew accomplished crew of local grinders - over to Mike Sexton's table to show off Borovetz' uncanny impression of Sexton's announcing voice firsthand, Calderaro waited for his opponent to make a crucial decision.

With Borovetz now serenading Sexton with a voice that sounded eerily similar his own, and Failla loudly encouraging the proceedings, Caldarero heard his opponent make the call to put both of their similarly-sized stacks at risk.

"He called me Will, comin' take a look..." said Calderaro as he rolled over for a set on the turn. "Wit aces 'dis guy called me!"

Failla stopped by to sweat the river, and when it came to keep "Big Show Caldo" out in front of his shocked opponent's , he offered his pal a clap on the back in congratulation. Calderaro dragged another pot his way on the very next deal, eating his fill before the dinner break even starts.
