Yan Busts to Romanello

zedmaster84

Niveau 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

[Removed:17] open-shoved his last 11,200 from under the gun and Roberto Romanello called on the button, as did [Removed:155] in the big blind. Both active players checked down the flop and the turn. On the river, Brand checked and Romanello bet 5,000. Brand folded and the cards were tabled.

[Removed:17]:
Roberto Romanello:

The aces and jacks scooped the pot for the Welshman and Yan was sent to the rail. It was still a pretty decent festival for Yan already, who scooped the title in the €25,750 Super High Roller a few days ago.
