Romero Finds Luck On The River
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
In a pot of roughly 18,000 on a board showing 
, the small blind checked to James Romero in the hijack who bet 12,500.
The small blind elected to check-raise to 31,500 and Romero went deep in the tank. After several minutes of thought, Romero decided to shove all in for 71,900 total and the small blind snap-called.
James Romero: 
Small Blind: 
Romero was in bad shape against the top two of his opponent, until the river peeled off the 
, turning the tables and giving Romero a better two-pair and the full double up.
