The Rich get Richer

Martin Romero
Martin Romero

Martin Romero raised to 12,500 from middle position and was eventual met with an all-in rereads to 29,500 by the player in the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Romero made the call.

Showdown
Romero: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Small Blind: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Romero rose from his chair, which has become his custom in big pots, and began singing to himself in Spanish. We're not sure what he was singing, but it sounded an awful lot like a lullaby. Nevertheless, it must have worked as the board ran out an uneventful {4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Not only did Romero dispatch a player, he became the first to crack the 300K mark.

Romero Rebounds

On a flop of {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, Martin Romero spiked in a bet of 18,000 into a pot of about the same size. His opponent, who was sitting on a stack of about 85,000, immediately announced that he was all in and Romero snap-called.

Showdown
Romero: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Romero shot out of his chair and started celebrating as he headed over to his rail. During his absence, the dealer proceeded to put out the {Q-Diamonds} turn and {2-Hearts} river. Romero's opponent was clearly upset and made a quick exit from the tournament floor while a tournament official had a quick talk with Romero. What about, we're not quite sure, but it was most likely pertaining to his excessive celebration.

However, it is hard to blame the young man as he is up to around 260,000.
