Romanello Attracts Cameras Like Honey Hummingbirds

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Even though he's been by and large quiet today, Roberto Romanello's dulcet Welsh tones are rarely ignored by the media and this hand was no exception. Alfonso Amendola started it off with an under the gun limp preflop, which was raised to 700 by his neighbour, whom our list says is Nicholas Teichert. Over to Romanello on the button, who made it 3,075. Teichert alone called.

The flop, {5-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs}, was checked by both of them, but the {10-Hearts} on the turn saw a check-fold from Teichert. Romanello bet 2,075, and immediately as if out of the walls a film crew materialised around him.

"I have ace high," said Romanello, piping up. "That's a value bet. I think I am beating you." He got a call in the end, and he bet the {2-Diamonds} turn too - this time 8,000. No resistance this time from Teichert.

The G Stands for Gone

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Tony G
Tony G

Tony G had a short-stacked rollercoaster of a day, but it looks as though he couldn't ride that rollercoaster sufficiently upwards to make a deep run here in Berlin. His seat is empty, the chips all gone, his masseuse looking around the room for a new client - in short, missing, presumed busto.

JP's Japers

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

PokerStars Team Pro JP Kelly has just won a pot he described as "very odd" where having just 7,000 or so back with around 16,000 in the middle, he just check-called a bet of 3,000 on the river of a {3-Clubs}{a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} board.

His opponent turned over {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair but Kelly flipped {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a better two pair to elevate his own stack back up to 27,000.

The Ruth, the Ruth, the Ruth is on Fire...

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Sebastian Ruthenberg
Sebastian Ruthenberg

Whenever I walk past Sebastian Ruthenberg, the PokerStars Team Pro is invariably in a huge pot for his tournament life.

He just fired out 1,600 on a flop of {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades} against the button, the latter raising to 4,100. Ruthenberg then made it 10,500 to go before the button set him all-in for about 35,000.

Ruthenberg quicker than Usain Bolt rushing out of the blocks.

Ruthenberg: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a flopped full house
Button: {5-Spades}{2-Spades} for a flush draw that was useless unless he hit running {4-Spades} and {3-Spades} or running aces to chop.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} leaving the {7-Clubs} being academic. The German is up to 70,000.

Getting Cained

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Luca Cainelli
Luca Cainelli

EPT Vienna finalist Luca Cainelli faced a 3,225 bet from his opponent on the turn of a {2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} board - he raised to 16,000, enough to put the other gentleman in. The gentleman called all in, and they would soon be at 35,000 apiece, though moving in opposite directions.

Cainelli: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Other gentleman: {3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

River: {8-Spades}
