Ray Not Laughing Anymore

Ray Romano has love, needs chips.
Ray Romano has love, needs chips.

On the button, Ray Romano called a middle-position raise to se a {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. The raiser bet 1,200, and Romano called. His opponent checked the {q-Diamonds} turn, and Romano bet 2,000. The other player didn't buy it and called. The river was the {k-Clubs}, and both players checked to showdown. Shown {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, Romano just mucked. But he still had 38,000.

A few hands later, we caught him staring at a {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} board. His opponent had bet 15,000 at the sizable pot, and Romano went into the tank. He emerged with a call, showing {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. But Romano's instincts were right. His opponent held {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} to win the hand with a turned full house. After a good start to his day, Romano is all the way down to 16,000.
