Roberto Romanello
Roberto Romanello

Action folded around to Jason Koon on the button and he raised to 25,000. Roberto Romanello was in the big blind and three-bet to 105,000. Koon stood up to count his opponent's stack, sat back down and decided to call.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Romanello led out for 126,000. Koon called.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}. Romanello tanked for about a minute and eventually piled his stack in the middle. Koon quickly folded.

Romanello now holds the chip lead, getting closer to the million-chip mark.

Mike McDonald raised to 20,500 on the button and Sorel Mizzi defended his big blind.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked to the turn, which was the {q-Spades}. Mizzi led out for 30,000, and McDonald thought for a while before raising to 90,000. Mizzi called.

The river was the {7-Spades}. Mizzi checked, and after about a minute McDonald checked back. Mizzi tabled {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for the nuts, and McDonald laughed and mucked his hand.
