'Momentum' Apparently Same in Italian

Luca Pagano, never reaching the upper chip echelons in Day One, has been calmly plugging away today slowly building upwards. He just took a pot from Karolis Grybauskas on the turn of a 
board betting 9,300 into the now 18k pot and getting a reluctant-looking fold from the Lithuanian.
As he stacked with professionally quick fingers, another Italian on the table, Antonio Tarantino, muttered cheerfully at him, the only word of which I'm pretty sure I understood being, "Momentum!"
Pagano, one of the Italian forerunners of big tournament poker in his home country, has been gracing the EPT with his final table attendances and series of stylish glasses since the very beginning, and the popular player has so far made an eye-opening six finals and 15 cashes.
