Romanellism - Number One
I think it was Danafish who created the word "Romanellism" during the Welshman's charge towards the EPT title in Prague. Roberto Romanello is currently sharing the same oxygen as three EPT Main Event Winners over at his table right now. Sebastian Ruthenberg, Michael Tureniec and Romanello himself.
It was during a hand involving Ruthenberg that we heard the first Romanellism of the day. Ruthenberg raised to 650 in the cut-off and Luca Topazio three-bet to 1,725 from the button. The action folded around to Ruthenberg who said something to Topazio. Topazio gave Ruthenberg a puzzled look and Ruthenberg folded his hand. Romanello poked Topazio on the shoulder.
"Did you understand what he said?" Asked Romanello.
Romanello and Topazio then had a conversation in Italian.
"What did he say?" Ruthenberg asked Romanello.
"He asked me what is was that you said," said Romanello.
"And what did you say?" Ruthenberg asked.
"I told him you called him a donkey," said Romanello.
To say Ruthenberg's face was red was an understatement.
