Romanello Gets Involved
Toth bet out 40,000 and Romanello called; they proceeded to the turn which both players checked.
The river came down the and Toth thought about it for a moment before sticking in a roughly pot-sized bet of 120,000. Even when you're the chip leader, as Romanello is, this represented a very big bet.
Romanello stared at Toth and asked him how much he had behind. A simple wave of his hand indicated that Toth had 320,000 back. Romanello continued his death-staring antics. He counted out the call as approximately a billion people appeared from neighbouring tables and the media room to watch. He went back to death-staring, and eventually someone called the clock.
Finally, Romanello folded.
Stacks after that - Romanello 870,000, Toth 560,000.
