Romanello Rolling; Busts Teng
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.

Iemina was in a bad shape, and it got even worse as the board ran out giving Bojang four kings, which sent Iemina off the felt and to the rail.

Brammer Cracks Aces with Kings
We didn't catch the betting action, but we do know Sylvain Mazza and Chris Brammer got all in for about 56,000 each.
Showdown
Brammer:
Mazza:
Brammer looked extremely disappointed, but his frown turned upside down when the flop fell and gave him a set. The turn meant Mazza needed an ace on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the peeled off. The stacks were counted down and Brammer barely had Mazza covered.
