Romero Battles With Pollak
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a flop of 
, James Romero checked out of the big blind and subsequently check-raised a bet of Benjamin Pollak to 14,000, which the Frenchman called. The 
fell on the turn and Romero gave it some thought before leaving for 22,000, which Pollak called once more.
After the 
river, Romero studied his opponent and carefully cut out a bet of 60,000, which represented more than half of Pollak's remaining stack. Once the bet was moved forward, Pollak instantly released his cards into the muck.
