[user76023]

Bill Jordanou has doubled up.

Tony G raised to 15,000 from UTG and Roberto Romanello made the call on the button. Jordanou squeezed, moving all-in for 43,500 from the small blind. The G timed out and folded, but Romanello called.

Jordanou: {A-Hearts}

Romanello: {8-Diamonds}

The flop came {3-Hearts}

while a baying audience cried for aces and jacks. They got their reward on the {A-Diamonds}

turn, while the {2-Diamonds}

couldn't save Romanello.

Jordanou is back up over the 100,000 mark.

Feldman Folding Queens

Barry Greenstein raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Andrew Feldman reraised from the cutoff seat to 50,000. Tony Bloom was in the big blind and moved all in. Greenstein folded and then Feldman went into the tank. He used up all of his 30 seconds before tossing in one of his time-breaker chips. Eventually, he mucked what he said was two queens.

Feldman was left with 79,000 while Bloom moved up to 185,000.
