Paulin Finds Unlikely Runout Against Romero

Level 13 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Pierre-Paul Paulin
Pierre-Paul Paulin

Pierre-Paul Paulin opened to 100,000, James Romero three-bet to 230,000 and Paulin moved all in for more than enough to cover his opponent. Romero thought for just a moment before he slammed in his 1.650,000 stack and the two turned over their hands.

Romero: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Paulin: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The flop was beautiful for Romero as it came {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs} and he took a commanding lead with his set of sixes. An {8-Hearts} peeled off on the turn and Paulin now picked up some full house outs.

An unthinkable card popped off on the river when the {a-Diamonds} turned over, giving Paulin a higher full house to take down the pot and send the start of the day chipleader packing.
