Armando Del Pozo

There was about 500,000 in the pot on the turn with a completed board of 9c7c2h8d.

Jay Romano checked from under the gun and Armando Del Pozo moved all in for 535,000 on the button. Romano went into the tank for several minutes, while visibly troubled by the decision.

Eventually, Romano called and showed Th9h, good for top pair and an open-ended straight draw. Del Pozo was in the lead with his KhKd.

Romano needed a 10, nine, jack, or six to make the best hand and double up, but the river bricked off and Del Pozo scooped the pot to double up and move over the million-chip mark.

Armando Del Pozo – 1,600,000
Jay Romano – 180,000
