Romanello Running The Show

Matthew Pitt

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

We are going to run the risk of sounding like a stuck record by constantly reporting on Roberto Romanello but we can't help it if he is the man of the moment.

Although his mouth is quieter than usual, his betting and aggression at the table is just as loud. He raised from under the gun to 135,000 and only Peter Skripka called from the small blind. A flop of {2-Hearts} {j-Hearts} {5-Spades} saw Skripka check fold to a 175,000 continuation bet from Mr Romanello.

Two hands later the action folded to him in the small blind and after asking Emilliano Bono how many chips he had in his stack, and then ribbing him over how he said "one meeelion," he made it 135,000 to play, resulting in Bono folding and showing {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
