Romanello Gets Involved

It looked as though Roberto Romanello raised his button and Csaba Toth called in the small blind; either way the flop read {3-Hearts}

by the time the hand turned interesting.

Toth bet out 40,000 and Romanello called; they proceeded to the {9-Hearts}

turn which both players checked.

The river came down the {Q-Clubs}

and Toth thought about it for a moment before sticking in a roughly pot-sized bet of 120,000. Even when you're the chip leader, as Romanello is, this represented a very big bet.

Romanello stared at Toth and asked him how much he had behind. A simple wave of his hand indicated that Toth had 320,000 back. Romanello continued his death-staring antics. He counted out the call as approximately a billion people appeared from neighbouring tables and the media room to watch. He went back to death-staring, and eventually someone called the clock.

Finally, Romanello folded.

Stacks after that - Romanello 870,000, Toth 560,000.
