Romanello Bustissimo

[user46392]
[user46392]
Garrulous Welshman Roberto Romanello is out. "I had the worst hand," he lamented wryly.

Turns out that Romanello had raised in position with {J-?} {9-?} and a good player in the small blind had reraised. Deciding that the small blind was making a move, Romanello pushed -- only to discover that the small blind had pocket queens.

Tabatabai Gets the Chop

Donev - folded the best hand
Donev - folded the best hand
Just before the break, John Tabatabai and his remaining 3,000 pushed from the button to a raise. "And you have...?" inquired his opponent. "I can't bluff you," replied Tabatabai, "I don't have the chips."

After some brief pretending that they both had aces, the opponent called and they were on their backs.

Tabatabai: {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Ivo Donev: "Oh no! I folded the best hand!"

Board: {2-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}

Chop, chop, and Tabatabai stays in.

Endangered and Extinct Species

Dan Shak's table was broken a while ago and we haven't been able to find him. That doesn't mean he's not out there somewhere, but with each sweep of the room it becomes less likely.

Other recently-vacated seats at tables that haven't broken: Voitto Rintala and the reigning world champ, Peter Eastgate.

Serock in a Hard Place

Joseph Serock is down to 4,000. Some, but not all, of the damage seems to have been done in a blind-on-blind confrontation. Eventually Serock in the small blind laid it down to a 2,000 bet from the big blind on the river of the {10-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {9-Spades} {K-Hearts} {6-Spades} board.

Rosario Bows Out

[user75032]
[user75032]
A very unlucky day has come to an end for Shirley Rosario. After losing a huge chunk of her stack earlier with pocket aces, then building back up to about 7,000, Rosario found herself all in holding pocket kings. Her opponent tabled pocket queens, but managed to connect with a four-flush that hit the board. That bit of unluckiness eliminated Rosario from the tournament.
