The Romanello Show

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

Oh, we have had some fun and games over at Table 3 and most of the fun has centred around Roberto Romanello. Our attention was drawn to the table after a hugh gathering amassed themselves around the table just as a rather irate [Removed:283] was walking away in apparent disgust.

We spoke to Romanello to get the low down on the action and this is what he told us. There was a limper and a raise and a cold call by [Removed:288]. Romanello had pocket Kings and made a huge raise to 8,500 which [Removed:288] called. The flop was {a-} {j-} {6-} and Romanello checked and [Removed:288] bet 10,000 and Romanello called. The river was {j-} and Romanello once again checked before [Removed:288] announced he was all-in. This was a decision for all of Romanello's chips and after having a discussion with the Italian decided to make the call and showed the pocket Kings. [Removed:288] erupted when he saw them and started to say a lot of words very loudly in Italian, mostly directed at Romanello, before storming out of the building. [Removed:288] has not returned in the past twenty minutes and there is just over 1,000 in chips where he used to sit.

A few hands later and he is at it again. This time against Ange Thierry Astorga. Romanello opened from early position to 725 and Astorga three-bet from the button making it 2,025 to play. Romanello makes the call. The flop is {q-Spades} {2-Hearts} {9-Spades} and Romanello again checks to Astorga who bets 5,000 and Romanello calls. The river is the {a-Clubs} and Romanello again checks and so does Astorga.

"King high." Says Astorga.

Romanello shows {a-Spades} {k-Clubs}.

"I was calling you down with Ace high. Why does everyone want to bluff Romanello today?" Said the Welshman.
