Romanello Makes Opponent Fold Straight

[user76023]

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

There was a sizeable pot brewing on one of the outermost tables, the board was reading . Roberto Romanello was still to act but his opponent checked out of turn and exposed her cards - for a turned straight.

The floor was called and the ruling was that Romanello could make any decision he wanted now and then his opponent could act accordingly, though with her cards exposed.

The Welshman thought for a minute and then moved all in for about 45,000 into the 25,000 pot. His opponent (who doesn't have an ID card - scandalous!) took two minutes before opting to fold.
