Romanello Versus Gulyy

Roberto Romanello
Roberto Romanello

Roberto Romanello couldn't help having a little dig at Andrey Gulyy after the latter paid of a value bet.

Romanello opened to 3,800 and called when the Russian three-bet to 11,000 off the button. No chips made their way into the middle until the river when the final board read {2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

Romanello bet a small 7,600 and Gulyy called to see {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Muck.

"Ace-king no good!" said the Welshman.

"I have eyes, I can see!" shot back Gulyy.

Brammer Bossing

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Christopher Brammer is still bossing his table and constantly adding chips to his stack.

In the latest hand, Maxim Panyak opened in the cutoff, Brammer three-bet in the small blind, Panyak responded with a four-bet to 12,200 and Brammer's reaction was to five-bet to 39,200. This last raise demoralized Panyak, who after 90 seconds of deliberation let his hand go.

Kovalchuk Starts To Rebuild

Oleksii Kovalchuk had started to flirt with the 300,000 chip barrier, but had lost a couple of pots and dropped to 200,000. Checking on his rebuilding process, we saw him raise two pots in a row and win them both.

The first saw him open to 5,000 on the button and win the blinds and antes. The second he increased the raise to 5,500 in the hijack and again he won the blinds and antes. Easy game.

Jelassi Sends Tschirch To The Rail

Marc Tschirch got his stack all in preflop holding {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and was behind the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} of Ramzi Jelassi. Despite being behind, Tschirch seemed hopeful. Unfortunately for him, that hope was slowly distinguished as the board ran out an uneventful {3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

"Good game," Tschirch said as Jelassi was pushed the pot.

You Show First

Lardo Leheste led out for 9,200 on a board of {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Jonathan Khalifa announced, "raise," then tossed out 23,200. Leheste quickly called.

The {4-Hearts} completed the board, and Leheste checked. Khalifa thought for a bit, then opted to check behind.

Neither player wanted to show, but Khalifa was the last aggressor. He was forced to table {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for king-high, and Leheste showed {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for queens and jacks.

Leheste chipped up to over 200,000 chips, while Khalifa slipped to 103,500.
