Romanello Running Table and Reading Hands Well

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Roberto Romanello - on form once again
Roberto Romanello - on form once again

Roberto Romanello is running the show on his table, mirroring the recent EPT Barcelona where he basically never shut up! If you followed the action from Spain a couple of weeks ago, you will recall us singing the praises of Romanello for using table talk to his advantage.

Today has been no different, with the Welshman's constant chatter and jokes keeping his table in good spirits. Not only is he a comedian, but he can also read poker hands pretty accurately too!

Jonas Klaussen got the ball rolling with an opening raise to 725 from early position. Next to act, Romanello put in another raise, making it 2,100 to play. On the button Paul Berende four-bet to 6,075, forcing out the blind, the initial raiser in Klaussen but Romanello made the call.

The flop was an action killing {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades} and it was unsuprising that both players checked. If that wasn't bad enough the turn was another ace, this time the {a-Clubs} and again both players checked. The {4-Hearts} on the river saw both players check again.

"Your queens are good," informed Romanello before Berende turned over {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Klaussen said that he would have won the hand had he called preflop as he held {a-}{q-} but you have to be in it to win it in this game.

Romanello drops to around the 78,000 mark, whilst Berende climbs to 63,300
