Romanello Runs Queens into Kings
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
On one of the first hands back from break, chip leader Hengtao Zhu opened to 160,000 from under the gun. Roberto Romanello then three-bet to 560,000 from the cutoff. Zhu responded by making it 1,200,000 and snap-called when Romanello jammed for around 3,000,000.
Roberto Romanello: Q♥Q♠
Hengtao Zhu: K♠K♥
Romanello was crushed by the better pair, and the triple crown winner bowed out after failing to improve on the 10♣9♥6♥8♦9♠ runout.
