Just The Tip Of The Van Den Berg
Ladies and gentlemen we have lost our first player, Holland's Erik van den Berg.
Rocco Palumbo had opened to 450 from the cutoff and former EPT Prague champion Roberto Romanello flat-called from the button. The small blind then folded only for van den Berg to pump up the action and make it 1,450 to play. This was too much for Palumbo to call and he flicked his cards back to the dealer but Romanello liked the look of his hand and he put in a four-bet to 3,875. Van den Berg wasted no time at all in moving all in for around 12,000 and Romanello snap-called.
Romanello: 
Van den Berg: 
The flop came down 
gifting Romanello a set but van den berg was not out of it yet. The 
turn saw the Dutchman pick up a gutshot straight draw but it failed to materialise as the river was the 
and Romanello's full house crushed the Dutchman's mediocre hand.
Romanello now has 37,000 chips.
