“Mr Greedy”

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Pizzo Romano is an older gentleman from the UK but with a strong Italian accent. For most of the day he has been gathering chips in tournament room B, bamboozling players and chatting away. He is now in the main room sat to Trickett’s right and is continuing the stream of commentary.

Romano opened from early position for 2,500 which was an unusually large raise by the table norms. It folded round to the player on the button who called prompting Romano to begin, “There is always a Mr Greedy.” Looking at Romano’s big stack another player called for a mirror before Romano announcing he was checking in the dark.

The flop was {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and the player on the button bet 3,500. Romano made as if to fold before asking how may chips his opponent hand and raising to 10,000. His opponent threw his hand away and Romano showed {a-Spades}{8-Spades} chiding him for being at it.

On the next hand Romano limped from under the gun with {q-}{10-} and induced a two street bluff from another opponent on a queen high board. Whatever Romano is doing today it sure is working out so far.
