Traber Eliminated By Romer
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Action was picked up on the flop of J♥3♠K♣, and James Traber checked from the small blind to Keith Romer, who was in late position, bet 500,000. The pot was sitting at about 1,000,000. Traber three-bet to 1,200,000, and Romer moved all in for 2,200,000 effective. Traber snap-called, and as his cards hit the table, it was obvious why.
James Traber: K♦J♣
Keith Romer: K♠K♥
Traber sat with two pair, and Romer had a set. The turn 7♣ and the river A♠ did not change the outcome, and Traber was eliminated.
Meanwhile, on the other table, at exactly the same time, according to the players, Peter Kamaras woke up with aces, and Homan Mohammadi called his all in with ace-queen, and by some miracle, the ace-queen won, and Kamaras was eliminated.
