Orlando Romero Eliminated in 19th Place ($5,830)

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Orlando Romero

Orlando Romero and Matthew Shepsky got all the chips in the middle before the flop. Romero had the larger of the two stacks by a narrow margin.

Matthew Shepsky: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Orlando Romero: {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Shepsky had the preflop edge and Romero needed to improve in order to stack him. The board ran out {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} to give Shepsky the nut flush, so he doubled through Romero and left him with just 74,000 chips.

Shortly thereafter, Romero got his short stack in the middle from the big blind against Christopher Trang, who was in the small blind.

Orlando Romero: {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Christopher Trang: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Trang was ahead preflop with his queens and Romero needed help from the deck to survive. The board ran out {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Trang took the pot to end Romero's deep run in this event.
