Keith Romanovitz

We saw the aftermath of a three-way pot that saw Keith Romanovitz taking several minutes to pile up his stack. As told by tablemate Mike Beasley, it was three-way to the turn with the board reading KsTh4hQd and Romanovitz got around 500K in the middle.

His Ah8h was on a heart draw against two made straights with AcJs and AsJd. Broadway was no good on the 6h river to send one player out and Paul Camby down. Meanwhile, after finally completing his stack, Romanovitz was up to 1,256,000 among the leaders.

“Congrats,” Camby said. “That’s the type of hand that helps you win the tournament.”
