Sevens Heaven for Romanello
With Emilliano Bono basically having checked the 'Sitting Out' button this level, Roberto Romanello and Marcin Horecki continue to battle it out. The latest confrontation gave the furry-hatted Welshman a tough decision, but he ended up making the right one.
Romanello had raised preflop on the button to 245k and been called by big blind Horecki. The flop was checked by both players. On the turn, Horecki bet out 265k, and Romanello raised to 575k total. After a bet pull-in and another pot spread, Horecki finally made the call.
