James Romero Runs Down AK & Queens
Early action was missed, but the cards were picked up on their back during a three-way all-in on Table 4.
James Romero called to close the action as the covering stack and he held [6d6s]. One of Romero’s opponents held [QhQd] while the other held [AdKs] – each had just over 125,000 chips.
The board ran out [Th9s7s8s3c] and Romero’s pocket pair improved to a straight to score the double knockout. When the dust settled, Romero was behind the biggest stack in the room with just under 500,000.
