Romanello Asking All The Question
Roberto Romanello has just lost a large pot on the flop but may have gained some information from his silent opponent.
I joined the hand just as the flop was about to be dealt, with 26,000 chips already in the middle of the felt. Romanello asked for a count of his opponent's remaining chips, 29,850 was the answer.
"Let's play a big pot," said the talkative Welshman as the dealer put out the flop.
Rather quickly, the under the gun player moved all in for 29,850 sending Romanello into the tank and by tank I really mean into questioning mode.
"You have a big pair but which one?"
"Do I give you respect or not?"
"Will you show if I pass?"
"Do you have ace-king?"
With that last question Romanello mucked his hand and is now down to a not-too-shabby 138,000
