Roberto Romanello Eliminated in 18th Place ($15,531)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Three-way to the {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades} flop, James St Hilaire and Roberto Romanello checked from the blinds. Rudolph Sawa bet out 40,000 from the button and St Hilaire called.

Romanello, however, woke up with a check-raise, announcing, "raise pot." He had less than that, playing 142,000. While Sawa escaped quickly, St Hilaire called to put Romanello at risk.

Romanello: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
St Hilaire: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Romanello had the top set and was in good shape for a double, but the {K-Diamonds} turn flipped a switch. "I like that," St Hilaire said.

Suddenly, Romanello could only hope for the remaining jack in the pack, and that never arrived as the {3-Clubs} river sealed Romanello's fate.
