Roberto Romanello opened to 81,000 under the gun, and a three-bet was coming. Jesper Petersen made it 220,000 to go, sending Romanello into a bit of deep contemplation. He tried to get Petersen to chat with him, but the conversation was nothing but one-sided. After several minutes, Romanello elected to call.
The flop came out , and Petersen led out with a tiny bet of 80,000. Romanello came right along with the call. The two men would check down the turn and the river to go to showdown.
Petersen was first, showing up pocket nines for two pair. Romanello nodded slowly and flashed two eights before sending them into the muck.
Things suuure are tight here at the "final" table.
Roberto Romanello opened for 96,000 and Francesco de Vivo flatted behind. Interesting.
Flop:
Romanello bet out another 96,000, and de VIvo now raised to 250,000. Romanello immediately took back his 96,000 bet and after a moment, replaced it with the quarter-mil. call.
Turn:
Romanello, his face obscured by his baseball cap, bet out another quarter-mil. De Vivo folded, showing the table pocket tens.
The last few hands have been taken down uncontested by preflop raises from Roberto Romanello (130,000 opener), Yorane Kerignard (90,000) and Morten Guldhammer (105,000). Unless Guldhammer snaps and calls with something unusual again, we're just going to have to wait for a couple of big hands to clash.
Hot Morten-on-Morten action as Morten Klein raised to 110,000, and over in the small blind Morten Guldhammer made it 220,000. Klein went all in for 878,000, Guldhammer snap-called, and both Mortens were on their backs.
Klein:
Guldhammer: slightly behind with
Board:
Klein doubled to 1.832 million. Guldhammer meanwhile dropped to sixth place overall on 1.305 million.
Richard Loth, judging by yesterday's evidence one of the tightest players at the table, raised under the gun to 91,000. Everyone else gave him respect and folded, and he picked up the blinds and antes.
Morten Guldhammer raised to 80,000 in middle position, and he found calling action from Morten Klein. The two men watched the flop come out . When Klein checked, Guldhammer's continuation bet of 100,000 was enough to take it down, and just pip him into the chip lead with about 2.1 million.
