Romanello Gets the Better of Lichtenberger

Youthful Welshman Roberto Romanello has taken a tasty pot out of the hands of even more youthful big stack Andrew Lichtenberger.

Lichtenberger raised from the cutoff and Romanello called from the button, as did both blinds. They saw a {Q-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} flop and Lichtenberger checked. Romanello bet 11,000 and the blinds got out of the way; back to Lichtenberger, and he called.

Both players checked the {J-Hearts} turn, and Lichtenberger checked the {2-Hearts} river as well, at which point Romanello bet 45,000. A puzzled look from Lichtenberger, closely followed by a fold, and Romanello is up to around 150,000.
