Three-way to the 7♦2♣2♦ flop, it checked to James Romero in the cutoff. He added 3,000 to the pot of 16,000 with a bet, only to be raised by Oleksandr Kandyba under the gun. Kandyba made it 13,000, folding out Mary Dubois in early position.

Romero thought for a while before he called, and the 5♥ was placed on the turn. Kandyba quickly moved all in, and Romero snap-called for his stack of 36,000.

James Romero: K♠K♦ All in
Oleksandr Kandyba: Q♥Q♣

The river fell the innocent 3♥. Romero's kings held doubling him up and leaving Kandyba with just over half a starting stack.
