Maceiras Juan'ts to Herold His Victory
"Do you want me to call? If I call I'm going to put you on tilt again!"
Maceiras made the call, but both checked the flop.
"Ooooh, you checked behind, I was sure you would bet!" continued Maceiras.
Maceiras then quieted down as he bet 7,500 on the turn, which Herold called. On the river, Maceiras bet 15,000 before getting very vocal once more.
"Ace high is no good, I have pocket sixes..."
The chatter induced the call and Maceiras flipped to win the pot.
"See? I put you on tilt again!"

Julian Herold Eliminated
And the German's bravery was rewarded, the turn and river combining to send Herold to the rail.

Sorin State of Affairs
Romanello Running Out of Time
"You have thirty seconds," announced the tournament director.
"What, when was this decided?" asked Romanello.
"I said before, you weren't listening."
"I'm calling anyway," warned his opponent, "calling for sure."
"Five seconds."
"Hold on," interrupted Romanello. "It hasn't been that long."
"Okay, sir, I'm going to start counting down from 10. When I say one, your hand will be folded."
"Oh, okay then," replied Romanello.
"Ten, nine --"
"One moment," interrupted Romanello. "You're counting very fast."
With all these interruptions, I think Romanello probably got about half an hour to make his decision in the end, which ultimately was a fold.
He could talk the hind legs off a donkey this fella, but with 47,000, time really could be running out for the Welsh rogue.
