Romanello finds His Voice, and Some Chips

Roberto Romanello's chirpy side is coming out to play as he gathered chips.

JC Alvarado opened to 1,700 from under the gun and was three-bet to 4,000 by Matan Krakow in the next seat. Romanello was in the small blind and four-bet to 11,400, with only 4,100 behind.

Alvarado folded before Krakow went into the tank. After a minute or so Romanello started talking to him: "What do you have? Tell me and I'll let you know if I want you to call."

"You'd be really angry if I bust you as you're in really good shape."

He eventually shoved with {10-Spades}{9-Spades} and Romanello called off the extra with {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The board ran {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades} to hand the vital pot to Romanello.

While we were back at the desk Mike McDonald busted from the same table.
