Romanelloads of Chips

Roberto Romanello just busted a fellow in the big blind, after somehow getting to fourbet on the button with {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {8-Hearts} (total 10,500), get called and then shoved on when the flop came down {Q-Clubs} {2-Spades} {4-Diamonds} for about 10k again. He made the call immediately, saw the turn and river run out {3-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} and then scooped in the pot which bumped his stack up over the 64k mark. I only caught a glimpse of the bustee's hand - which looked a lot like {K-?} {Q-?} {9-?} {7-?}, although I wouldn't swear on it.

For someone not in the Nook of Big Stacks (see below) he's in pretty good shape chipwise. Here are some other selected counts from the area:

Karl Mahrenholz - 23,000
Howard Lederer - 46,000
Jules Adamson - 7,000
Sorel Mizzi - 9,200
Bruno Fitoussi - 28,000
Jani Sointula - 33,000
Juha Helppi - 48,000
Ross Boatman - 19,000
John Kabbaj - 50,000
Julian Gardner - 13,600
Chad Brown - 18,200
Barry Greenstein - 45,000
