Romanello won the European Open last February, worth $200,000, and this is his best result so far on the EPT, bettering his 32nd place in Copenhagen last year. He battled food poisoning on day three, but ended with the chip lead.
These days Romanello considers himself to be a full-time poker professional but used to split his time between playing poker and helping to run his family's award winning fish and chip shop in Wales.
