Roberto Romanello Eliminated in 8th Place ($149,093)
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Roberto Romanello was down to his final 1,400,000 when he shipped it from under the gun. Yoon Choi went all-in for 6,400,000 from the hijack to isolate as Romanello and Choi went to a showdown after the rest of the table folded, with Romanello at risk.
Roberto Romanello: Q♠Q♦
Yoon Choi: A♠4♠
Romanello picked up a premium hand just when he needed it most, but the flop would be a disappointment when the dealer fanned out A♥3♥2♥ to give Choi a pair of aces.
The 9♣ turn ended any hope of a flush chop.
Choi upgraded to two pair on the 4♣ river as Romanello was eliminated from contention.
Romanello earned $149,093 for his efforts.
