Ace-Teng?

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Roberto Romanello
Roberto Romanello

Roberto Romanello shoved for 75,000 under the gun and it folded right around to Andrew Teng in the big blind, who tanked. The Romanello monologue commenced.

"You don't want to double me up, I'm right next to you. Just out of interest, what's your range here? You don't need to worry about giving me information, I'm already all in." Then a change of tack. "Oh f*** it, just call me, get it over with." To the bloggers: "Do I get a penalty if I tell him my hand?" Shrugs from us and no floor man in sight. "I've got pocket sixes. I think you've got ace-ten."

Eventually Teng folded, but kept his cards - he wanted to see Romanello's hand, and seemed willing to show his. "I've got pocket sixes, but I don't want to show my hand, because, you know," Romanello announced.

"Because you don't have pocket sixes," someone at the table laughed. Teng showed an ace (he claimed {a-}{7-}) and play continued.

Sunny Days for Rainer

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Rainer Emde had a lucky escape after shoving with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and getting called by Andrew Teng holding {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}. Emde stood to leave when the cards were turned over, but hovered over the table as the flop came down {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, put his belongings back down as the turn came the {q-Clubs}, and finally reoccupied his seat as the river came down the {j-Diamonds} for a split pot. Teng looked rather unhappy about this.

Selbst and her Sevens Sent Packing in San Remo

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Sevens no Good for Selbst
Sevens no Good for Selbst

We have lost Vanessa Selbst from the heavily populated American table. She opened up with a raise from under the gun and received five callers.

Flop: {j-Spades} {5-Spades} {j-Clubs}

The action checked around to Gianluca Benvenuto who bet 26,000 from the button and Selbst moved all-in for approx. 120,000. Everyone folded around to Benvenuto who made one of the easiest calls of his tournament so far.

Benvenuto: {a-Hearts} {j-Hearts}
Selbst: {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}

The turn {8-Clubs} and river {9-Hearts} did not help Selbst and despite being one of our front runners for most of the early part of the tournament she now has to settle for the sunshine of San Remo.

Marino Entrenched

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Claudio Marino just knocked out Simone Michele with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} vs {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} when the board came {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Michele held his head in his hands and looked distraught while Marino dashed halfway across the room to celebrate with several fist pumps.
