James Romero: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The flop came down {q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Romero took the lead. A {6-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing and Tilston would need to see a hockey stick to send Romero home. The dealer flipped over the {7-Diamonds} on the river, giving Tilston his unlikely set, sending Romero out of the tournament.
