We caught up with Roberto Romanello after he won three hands on the bounce to give him a six-figure stack for the first time this event.
- Romanello opened and was three-bet by an opponent. He put in a four-bet and took the pot down.
- The very next hand Romanello opened again and called when fellow Brit Andrew Teng shipped all in for 46,000 with kings. Romanello was in big trouble with pocket queens but made quads on the




board. Teng's nose was rubbed in it by making a straight on the river. - The hand after that saw Romanello opened for a third time. Matt Salsberg, who just sat down with more than 400,000 chips, three-bet to 15,500. Romanello four-bet to 33,500 and Salsberg tank-folded.
