Romanello has to Shove

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Roberto Romanello raised to 400 from early position and Lior Shabtay three-bet to 1,000 from the cutoff. Song Hun Lee called in the big blind and Romanello called as well. The trio checked the {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop and the {J-Diamonds} turn. On the {Q-Diamonds} river, Romanello bet 500 and Shabtay raised to 1,500. Lee folded, but Romanello moved all in.

"Just making sure," Shabtay said and looked at his cards again, then called. "Flush!" Romanello announced and then started laughing, as he was pulling a prank on his opponent. Shabtay looked confused for a mere second and then both chopped it with {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} respectively. Since both had the nuts, a simple call of the raise would have resulted in a penalty.
