With the blinds low to start the day, most of the action is pretty slow. But occasionally the deck forces matters. We recently heard a call of "all in," and approached the table to see Tony Romano push his stack toward the middle on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. His all-in bet was for about 4,500. His opponent tanked for about a minute, then called and turned over {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for bottom set. Unfortunately for him, Romano held {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for top set, and Romano was in great shape to win the hand. The turn and river came {a-Clubs}, {8-Diamonds}, no help for Romano's opponent.

Romano won the pot, and when the stacks were officially counted, he had his opponent slightly outchipped. He nearly doubled up, and sent one player to the rail.
