Romero Finds the Winning Angle to a Two Million Stack
Bartolome Gomila Romero is up to around 2.3 million chips after he knocked out Jose Angel Latorre Marina and Simon Charette in one hand, but his victory was blighted by an angle shoot.
The action folded to Romero on the button and he put in a raise to 46,000 before Marina snap shoved for 602,000 from the small blind. The action was now on Charette and he asked for a count of the all-in. The dealer gave him a count and he had very little time to think before Romero called the clock on him. Floor man JP was in attendance and ruled against the clock calling and was given praise for his ruling by Matthias De Meulder.
This seemed to affect the tired looking Charrette and very soon after he re-shoved for around 680,000 and Romero was in waiting to make an instant call.
Romero:
Marina:
Charette:
The board ran to hand the monster pot to the Spaniard who was now being mobbed by his supporters. Charette was saying it felt like a set-up due to the way his two opponents had been playing all day, and he still had the class to say, "Nice hand" to Romero.
