Cakmak Check-Folds

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Emrah Cakmak made it 600,000 in the small blind and Stefano Schiano defended the big blind. The flop was {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Cakmak check-folded to a bet of 800,000, relegating him to shortest stack in the room.

Romero Completes the Comeback

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
James Romero
James Romero

For the third time in a row, James Romero found himself all in and at risk. This time, he three-bet shoved all in from the big blind after a raise from Emrah Cakmak, who quickly called.

James Romero: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Emrah Cakmak: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The {k-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} flop brought top set for Cakmak but a flush draw for Romero. He whiffed the {4-Diamonds} turn but got there on the {5-Spades} river to go from 3 big blinds to nearly 30 in the span of three hands.

"He can't die!" Sam Higgs chuckled loudly.

Romero Doubles Twice

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

James Romero may have been down after the previous hand, he's certainly not out yet after doubling twice in a row directly after the big hand. First, he got it in with {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for 495,000 against {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and hit all he needed on a {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board.

Next, from under the gun, he shove for 1,290,000 and this time, it was Stefano Schiano calling from the big blind. Romero held {5-Spades}{4-Spades} and rivered a straight against Schiano's {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds} to get back up to a workable stack.

Schiano Decimates Romero

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Stefano Schiano
Stefano Schiano

Stefano Schiano open-shoved for 3,910,000 on the button and Mario Mosböck folded his small blind. James Romero thought for nearly three minutes before calling it off for the vast majority of his stack in the big blind.

Stefano Schiano: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
James Romero: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Schiano may have been ahead preflop, he certainly wasn't anymore after the flop brought {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, bringing a myriad of possibilities for the American to walk away a winner. It turned out to be a case of 'too many outs', as neither the {q-Clubs} turn nor {3-Spades} river completed one of Romero's many draws.

The American was left with just three big blinds after the hand.

Sergio Aido WINS 2019 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino EPT €100,000 Super High Roller

Romero and Mosböck Battle in the Blinds

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Mario Mosböck limped the small blind in, James Romero made it 560,000 and Mosböck called. Both players checked the {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and Mosböck checked. Romero opted for an overbet of 1,600,000, but Mosböck came along with the call.

The {4-Clubs} on the river went check/check and Mosböck revealed {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. While the flush draw had missed, ace-high was still good as Romero mucked an inferior holding.

Jacquelyn Scott Eliminated in 6th Place (€42,800)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Jacquelyn Scott
Jacquelyn Scott

In the first of two hands, Emrah Cakmak raised to 325,000 from the cutoff, Stefano Schiano three-bet shoved a little over 3 million on the button and Cakmak folded. The next hand, Cakmak raised again and now it was Jacquelyn Scott committing all her chips.

The shove was a tad more than 2.5 million and Cakmak needed more than a minute before calling it off.

Jacquelyn Scott: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Emrah Cakmak: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Scott saw her first-ever deep run outside the U.S. end in sixth place after the {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} board didn't bring any help. She received €42,000 for her accomplishment, the biggest cash since her WSOP Ladies Event win in 2015.

River Value for Mosböck

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Mario Mösbock raised to 350,000 from the cutoff and James Romero called on the button. The flop was {k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} and both players checked. The {3-Diamonds} turn went check/check as well.

On the {2-Diamonds} river, Mösbock bet 850,000 and Romero called. The Austrian showed {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Romero mucked.

Emrah Cakmak raised to 325,000 from under the gun, James Romero three-bet small to 775,000 on the button, but Cakmak elected not to play and folded his hand.
