All Hearts for Romaine

Erick Torres

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

William Romaine shoved for his final 1,500,000 from the hijack. Bryan Allen asked for a count out of the big blind before he made the call.

William Romaine: Q♥8♥All in
Bryan Allen: 9♣9♦

Romaine needed help, and the flop gave it to him in a hurry when the dealer fanned out A♥6♥10♥ to give Romaine a flush and have Allen nearly drawing dead.

The J♥ turn sealed it in favor of Romaine as the meaningless 8♠ came on the river to award him the double-up.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Players are on a 15-minute break. A total of 26 hopefuls remain in the $800 Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em event. Action will resume at the 100,000/200,000 level.

Bustos Busts Another

Action was picked up on the turn, with a board reading 3♣Q♥5♦2♣. Three players put chips into the pot: small blind Claus Bustos, big blind Chung-Tang Lin, and Stephen Foutty on the button, the latter having moved all in.

On the A♦ river, Bustos bet out for 200,000 and Lin folded. Bustos had turned the wheel with A♠4♠, meaning Foutty's Q♠9♣ was not enough for survival.

Jason Wheeler open-jammed all in from middle position for 875,000, and action folded to Christopher Selami in the hijack, who rejammed for 1,170,000. Then Matheus Lima in the big blind, who had both players covered, made the call.

Jason Wheeler: K♥8♣ All in
Christopher Selami: A♥10♥ All in
Matheus Lima: 9♠9♥

The dream flop for Wheeler came K♦4♣K♠ to catapult him into the lead, but he still had outs to dodge to stay alive.

The J♣ on the turn changed nothing and left Selami drawing dead. No nine for Lima on the A♠ river, and Wheeler was shipped the main pot for a triple-up with Selami picking up the bowl of rice side pot to stay alive.

Selami is Cooked

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Alexander Yen opened to 300,000 from under the gun before Christopher Selami went all-in for 1,550,000 from the small blind. Yen took his time before he made the call to put Selami at risk.

Christopher Selami: J♦J♠All in
Alexander Yen: K♥Q♠

Selami was ahead with five cards to go, but he needed to fade the overcards of Yen.

The 4♦10♥A♠ flop gave Yen additional outs, as now Selami did not want to see his jack.

Selami stayed ahead on the 2♠ river, but the river was cruel when the J♥ peeled to give Selami a set and Yen the nuts.

Bustos Does What it Says on the Tin

Action was picked up with an all-in hand between under-the-gun player Claus Bustos and big blind Kevin Dykstra.

Kevin Dykstra: A♠10♦ All in
Claus Bustos: A♣Q♦

Both players made a pair on the 8♣9♦Q♣10♠9♣ runout, but Bustos' was superior, as queens-up was more than enough to bust his opponent.

Laplante Fades the World

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Action was picked up with an all-in between under-the-gun player Ryan Laplante and big blind Brett Richey.

Ryan Laplante: 9♠9♣ All in
Brett Richey: A♠Q♦

The 10♠2♦7♦ flop didn't offer much of a sweat, so the dealer burned and turned the K♦ to improve Richey to a whole host of outs. Any diamond, ace, queen, or jack would do it for him, but Laplante found the complete brick 3♣ on the river to stay alive and double.

"Eighteen outs!" remarked a player at the table.
