Romanello Doubles Up
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Roberto Romanello is the last former European Poker Tour champion left in the field and is still in with a shout of becoming the first-ever double EPT winner.
We missed the actual hand but the reigning EPT Prague champion was more than happy to fill us in with the details. He raised preflop with and Katri Kasper, seated to his direct left, called. The flop came seven high and Romanello bet 6,200, Kapser re-raised to 14,100 and Romanello re-popped it to 22,000. Kasper then moved all in and Romanello obviously snap-called. Kasper held and Romanello's hand held.
Kasper is desperately short on 16,500 chips but Romanello is up to around 130,000.
