1,200 Mark Reached; Romanello Eliminated

mnuwwarah

Level 13 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

At the close of registration, enough Day 2a entries have been logged to push the total number just past 1,200. That means about 800 need to enter by the end of the registration period on Wednesday — scheduled for four levels — in order to hit the guarantee of $10 million.

Roberto Romanello will likely be one of those as the partypoker rep just busted out. He got his last 325,000 in preflop and was called in two spots. The flop prompted two checks and then Cary Katz bet 250,000 from middle position on the turn. His live opponent mucked.

Katz showed for a pair of sixes and was leading against . The river was the and Romanello wished everyone good luck.

Fast Fall for Speranza

mnuwwarah

Level 12 : 15,000/35,000, 35,000 ante

Gianluca Speranza came in as one of the biggest stacks but after a cooler cost him almost all of his remaining chips, he's going to have to reenter if he wishes to continue in this event.

After an early open to 80,000, Speranza made it 275,000 on the button. Big blind Johannes Becker peeked at his cards and thought awhile before stuffing for 2,470,000. The opener mucked but Speranza quickly called with . He was in bad shape though as Becker had the . The board ran out , leaving Speranza with 130,000 that he lost in short order.
