Big Stack Battle

Just before the players head off for dinner, the two big stacks of Jason Lester and Julian Romero and one other player went to battle. There were a series of bets and raises before the flop came {10-?} {9-?} {7-?}.

The other player dropped out, but Lester and Romero committed the rest of their stacks. Lester was by far the happier with his {10-?} {10-?} for a flopped set than Romero was with his {A-?} {A-?}.

The set helped and Lester rockets up to 216,000. Romero is bust.
