Greenan Smacks the River to Crack Romero's Aces
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Barrie Greenan raised to 600 under the gun, Kenneth Romero three-bet to 1,500 in middle position, and Greenan called.
Both players checked the Q♦Q♠J♦ flop. Romero then bet 1,200 on the 7♠ turn, and Greenan called.
The 8♦ fell on the river and Romero bet another 2,500. Greenan came back with a raise to 11,000, and Romero called.
Greenan turned over 8♣8♠ for a rivered full house, and Romero flashed A♠A♥ as he mucked.
"Is that eights full? You're not supposed to let other people win. Only me. It's in the contract," tablemate Ian Simpson joked with the dealer after the hand.
