River Card Saves Romanello

(Photo: Table One)

We join the action on a board of [Ks] [9h] [4h] [5c] [8h]. Roberto Romanello is facing a 80,000 Wanny Piazza bet with only 120,000 behind and a mountain of chips in the middle. Eventually the floor is called, Romanello is counted down and his hand is mucked. Piazza turns over pocket aces and Romanello later tells us that he folded ace-king. Had the river came down a different colour Romanello was probably going broke.

Piazza ~ 624,000
Romanello ~ 120,000
