Romero Finds a Way...
Buckle up for this one...
Karthick Tamilselvam opens to 25,000 and is called by Greg Raymer, but then Chezz Romero raises to 220,000, leaving 24,000 behind. The action then folds back to Tamilselvam who moves all in, producing a quick fold from Raymer, and before Romero can act, Tamilselvam tables A?A?.
This obviously put Romero in a weird spot, knowing he is up against pocket aces but almost all of his stack is in the middle.
"F*uck it," he finally says after close to two minutes and sets out the rest of his chips to put his tournament life on the line.
Chezz Romero: A?Q?
Karthick Tamilselvam: A?A?
"Oh, that's all me!" Romero shouts as the flop comes 7?J?4?.
"Come on, dealer! Do it!" he exclaimed as the turn came the 4? to give him a flush draw.
And wouldn't you know it, the 9? smacked down on the river to give him the flush as the whole table goes nuts.
