A considreable pot had formed by the time we joined Roberto Romanello checking the turn of a {Q-Clubs}

board in the cutoff.

The action moved over to Simon Nybo on the button. With a flourish, he bet 45,000. Back to Romanello, and after a moment's pause, he announced all in to cover Nybo. And after another moment, Nybo called.

Nybo: {A-Spades}

for top two pair
Romanello: {K-Hearts}

for the broadway straight

River: {10-Clubs}

With that, Nybo's tournament hopes evaporated across the felt. Romanello meanwhile is in serious contention for the chip lead, on over 550,000, his immense stack spreading right across both his seat at the table and the one formerly occupied by Mr. Nybo.
