Romanello Takes on Radoja

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

On a flop reading {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, Roberto Romanello checked from the big blind to Mark Radoja in the hijack. Radoja, a two-time World Series of Poker champion, bet 700 and Romanello called.

Both players checked the {6-Spades} turn, leading the dealer to place the {8-Hearts} on the river, a card that completed numerous straight and flush draws. Romanello decided to represent one of those completed draws and bet 1,000. Radoja gave his options much consideration before folding and leaving Romanello to win the pot.

Wretchy is Gone

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player raised to 700 from early position and Dan "Wretchy" Martin reraised all in from the small blind and his opponent made the call.

Martin: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Opponent: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The flop was promising for Martin, as the dealer fanned {8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, but he couldn't find the club or ace on the {3-Spades}{2-Spades} run out and it was showers for Martin.

Chips Counts of the Rich and Famous

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

It appears the tournament has lost two talented players in the shape of Ben Dobson and Jackie Glazier. Dobson's seat is empty while we spotted Australia's Glazier on the rail texting, so it is safe to assume she's recently departed.

Boeree Bluffs the Dragon

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

David "The Dragon" Pham checked from the small blind on the {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, putting the action on the United Kingdom's Liv Boeree in the big blind. Boeree bet 300 and then quickly called when Pham check-raised to 725. The turn was the {A-Spades} and Pham led for 1,100. Again, Boeree called.

Pham then bet 2,950 on the {10-Clubs} river, which left him only 2,025 chips behind. Boeree then moved all-in for 5,575 and Pham looked perplexed. He looked at his hole cards at least five times before sending them back to the dealer.

Boeree showed {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a complete air and is now up to 12,675 chips.

Affleck's Kings Good for a Big One

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We didn't get the full story, but it sounds like Matt Affleck and his pocket kings may have gotten it in bad against his opponent, but came back for the win. "I really wanted to see him with all those chips and not you, to be honest," Eli Elezra mentioned as Affleck stacked his chips.

Kelly Cold Four-Bets

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

The player in the cutoff raised to 700 and Ireland's Jude Ainsworth three-bet to 2,000 from the small blind. Next to act was Dan Kelly in the big blind and he put a four-bet into play worth 4,500. The cutoff instantly folded and Ainsworth followed suit.
