Level 23: 10,000-20,000, 3,000 ante
Last week we were saying poor Ben Wilinofsky has he seemed to have zero luck when playing in the WPT Special Event Party Poker Premier League. We now understand what he was doing…he was saving all of his run good up for WPT Vienna, because he has once again found himself way behind, but gotten lucky to win another huge pot.
Roberto Romanello moved all-in over a Wilinofsky three-bet and the Canadian called with A
J
. Romanello turned over A Q and was looking forward to a 2 million pay day; that was until the Wilinofsky river curse struck once more.
Board: 7
7 2
8 J
We have lost our final WPT Champions Club member and Wilinofsky now has 2,400,000 chips and the lead at WPT Vienna.
Level 23: 10,000-20,000, 3,000 ante
Roberto Romanello raises to 42,000 in middle position, Ognjen Sekularac calls in the cutoff and Ben Wilinofsky raises the stakes from the small blind with a three-bet to 156,000. Both players fold and Wilinofksy takes the pot.
Wilinofsky ~ 2,300,000
Sekularac ~ 2,150,000
Romanello ~ 930,000
Level 23: 10,000-20,000, 3,000 ante
Roberto Romanello makes it 100,000 to play, from first position, and Norbert Szecsi makes a huge three-bet from the button. Romanello mucks instantly and admits that he made a mistake thinking he had bet 50,000 and not 100,000.
Level 22: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
Roberto Romanello raises to 32,000 in the cutoff, Ognjen Sekularac makes the call on the button and Anton Wigg moves all-in for 235,000 in the big blind. Romanello makes the call and then Sekularac moves all-in and has Romanello covered. The Welshman is forced to fold and Sekularac turns over K K for what was a nice play. Anton Wigg holds 8 8 and Romanello tells us he folded A T.
Board: 9 5 2 7 2
The talented Swede leaves us in 11th place and we now have a preliminary final table of ten.
Sekularac ~ 2,200,000
Romanello ~ 1,300,000
Level 22: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
Roberto Romanello raises to 32,000 in the cutoff and Ognjen Sekularac three-bets to 78,000 on the button.
"Now we are playing...yeah?" Says Romanello as he mucks his hand.
Level 22: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
The action folds around the Tristan Wade in the small blind and he moves all-in for a little over 100,000. Roberto Romanello calls in the big blind and this time it's Wade with the aces.
Romanello: A Q
Wade: A A
Flop: 8 7 2
Romanello finds a lucky flop and now needs one more spade to eliminate Wade.
Turn: 8
A good card for Wade.
River: Q
Romanello hits his flush and Wade is out in 12th. Romanello now has 1,600,000 in chips
Level 21: 6,000-12,000, 2,000 ante
Manuel Mutke raises to 26,000, Ben Wilinofsky three-bets to 62,000 on the button and Tristan Wade four-bets to 123,000 in the small blind. The only player left to act is Roberto Romanello in the big blind and he seems very interested in the action. He moves 220,000 across the line, Mutke folds as does Wilinofsky.
Tristan Wade composes himself before announcing he is all-in and Romanello snap-calls. Wade does not look happy and when he turns over his cards the table is amazed.
Wade: 9 7
Romanello: A A
Board: J 5 5 4 K
Romanello has 1,600,000 and Wade is down to 120,000
Level 21: 6,000-12,000, 2,000 ante
Roberto Romanello raises to 25,000 in the hijack, Ognjen Sekularac three-bets to 62,000 in the cutoff and Romanello folds.

-
Tristan Wade raises to 24,000 in the cutoff, Roberto Romanello calls on the button as does Ognjen Sekularac in the small blind. The flop is A 9 5 and a 34,000 Wade c-bet wins the pot.
Level 19: 4,000-8,000, 1,000 ante
Roberto Romanello makes a standard raise from first position, Mihails Morozovs calls, Wilhelm Fuhrer three-bets to 56,000 in the small blind, Andrew Badecker moves all-in for 735,000 in the big blind, Romanello calls, Morozovs folds and Fuhrer folds. That leaves Romanello and Badecker in a showdown with the Welshman at risk of elimination.
Romanello: Q Q
Badecker: A K
Board: J 9 6 2 5
Romanello doubles up to 680,000 and Badecker is down to 445,000.
