According to the popular Welshman, the player under the gun opened to 400, Romanello three-bet to 1,400 only to see Bonomo four-bet to 3,600 out of position. The under the gun player got out of the way but Romanello clicked it back and five-bet to 7,200. Bonomo then flat-called this raise, leaving himself just 10,000 chips behind.
