Blind on blind, Richard Loth bet out on the turn and river of the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

board but then was rather unwilling to turn his hand over at the end. Eventually he was persuaded to turn over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

for ace-high, but Roberto Romanello flipped {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

for two pair and took the pot.

The very next hand, it folded around to Loth on the button and he announced all in for his last 710,000. Romanello, now in the small blind, made the call.

Loth: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

Romanello: dominating with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

Board:

{4-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

Loth got lucky and spiked a jack, and it held to double him up to around 1.5 million. Romanello was left with a similar amount. We are still seven, and it is still anyone's game.
