Livello 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Andreas Kniep raised under the gun to 500,000 and it folded to Scott Weinstein in the big blind who made a three-bet worth 1,575,000. Kniep considered his options for a minute and announced all in, putting Weinstein at risk for his remaining stack of around 2,600,000. The latter snap-called.

Scott Weinstein: K♥K♣
Andreas Kniep: A♦A♠

The runout didn't bring any surprise with 10♣7♣6♥4♣Q♦ and Weinstein made his way to the payout desk while Kniep climbed to around 26,000,000.

Romanello Builds his Stack

Livello 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Roberto Romanello raised to 700,000 in the hijack position and Gregory Fournier three-bet all in for about 2,000,000. Romanello made the call.

Gregory Fournier: 7♦7♥
Roberto Romanello: A♠Q♠

The flop came in favor of Romanello with 6♦Q♥10♣ and Fournier was looking to hit a set on the next two streets but the turn was the J♥ and the river was the K♥ which sent Fournier to the rail and left Romanello in a better chip position. The average chip stack right now is 6,676,923 and Romanello was just above that.
