Baruskaite Bets Romain Off the Pot

Level 3 : 150/300, 50 ante

We joined an interesting pot between Daiva Baruskaite and Paul Romain, who are sat next to each other, with the talented Lithuanian player Baruskaite to the left of Romain, another London regular on the tournament circuit.

Both players have strong live records which only show signs of improving, with Baruskaite any cash at all in this tournament from going into the six-figure mark for live tournament winnings. Romain is no slouch either, with $225,000 to his name at the live felt.

The board already showed {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and we joined the action to see Baruskaite call Romain's bet of around 1,400 on the the turn. The river of {8-Spades} prompted a check from Romain, however, and Baruskaite bet 3,200. Romain looked down at his stack of 14,400 chips and eventually elected to fold.

While Romain is short-stacked, Baruskaite has around double his stack and is above the average of 26,026 in the room, with 180 players in seats.
