[user10554]

At Table 203, Luigi Petrone cheers, drawing a crowd of media and ESPN cameras. He is all in, but hasn't won the pot yet. On a flop of {K-Spades}

, Petrone has {K-Clubs}

against Terry Romine's {9-Diamonds}

. It's a set-over-set situation, and Romine is drawing to a nine or runner-runner spades.

Whether it's the presence of the cameras or his natural style, Petrone is pleading with God, the dealer, and his grandmother for his hand to hold up. "I do not wanna go home! I do not wanna go home!" The last two cards come {3-Diamonds}

, and Petrone cheers, saying, "Yes! I am staying!"

Petrone doubles up to 68,000 in chips, and says he feels comfortable with chips now.

On the other side of it is Terry Romine, who takes another hit, but is still alive. That's the second time today that Petrone has doubled through him with sets higher than Romine's sets.

Romine seems undeterred, saying, "I've doubled him up with set-over-set twice now, and I'm still alive. That's not bad."
