"Crazy" River Card for Cantu

From under the gun, Brandon Cantu raised to 2,800. Senh Ung made the call from the small blind while everyone else got out of the way.

The dealer spread the {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Spades} flop and Ung check-called a bet of 3,000 from Cantu. On the {A-Diamonds} turn, both players checked. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Ung led for 4,900.

"That's such a crazy river card for me," said Cantu as he thought. Eventually, he folded and Ung won the pot.

Tilly Can't Bluff Ung Again

Jennifer Tilly already tried to bluff Senh Ung and it failed. She just tried again, but again her bluff attempt didn't work.

On the {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board, Tilly fired 10,000. Ung stood strong and made the call to see the {J-Diamonds} land on the river. Tilly moved all in and Ung called off his last 11,800 after a minute of thought. Tilly didn't look pleased as she turned over the {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Ung held the {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the winning hand and doubled up.

Hellmuth Plays Bad and Romanello Is a Moron

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Roberto Romanello and Phil Hellmuth have been verbally jousting for the better part of the last 10 minutes. The two are going back and forth and it all began when Romanello told Hellmuth he played a hand bad. Hellmuth didn't take too kindly and has been ranting about how Romanello plays bad himself and just gets lucky. Romanello kept digging a little bit more into Hellmuth, who eventually called Romanello a moron.

The entire room seems to be enjoying Hellmuth's rant as it's lightened up the atmosphere in here with the money bubble approaching. With Romanello on Hellmuth's direct left, this verbal battle could spark some interesting play coming up.

Updated Chip Counts

Ace High Better Than Queen High

From under the gun, Roberto Romanello raised to 2,500. Edouard Mignot called on the button and the dealer produced the {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} on the flop. Romanello bet 3,500 and Mignot called.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and both players checked to see the {2-Spades} come out on the river. After Romanello checked, Mignot bet 8,000. Romanello called.

"Queen high," said Mignot, but Romanello waited patiently and silently for him to table his hand. He announced again that he had queen high, but Romanello waited until he turned up his {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Then, Romanello showed the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} for ace high and won the pot.
