Romanello Takes a Big Hit

Roberto Romanello walked out of the tournament area and into the dinner break before stopping by and recounting a big clash. Romanello went on a heater on his re-entry for Day 2 before a big pot against table neighbor Denis Krasavin sent him back to below the starting stack.

According to Romanello, the Welshman raised to 100,000 first to act and Krasavin called from the big blind. On the flop, Krasavin check-called a bet of 175,000 before check-raising the turn from 375,000 to 950,000. Romanello called and the river brought a bet by Krasavin and the shove of Romanello.

Krasavin snap-called with for the nut flush and Romanello's for the second nuts ended up second best. When coming back from dinner, the Romanello has plenty of work ahead with 12 big blinds only.
