We heard Roberto Romanello announce himself all in for his last 4,625, followed by what proved to be an inaccurate premonition.
"No bad beats please," he said while sliding his stack to the front. "No bad beats."
When Romanello was called by a player in the small blind, his banter quieted a bit, and when he saw his opponent table the 
, he went absolutely silent. That's because Romanello held a dominated hand in the 
, and he knew he was in bad shape for his tournament life.
Flop: 
The first three board cards instantly provided Romanello with a lifeline, in the form of a four-flush, and the 
on the turn sealed the double on, of all things, a bad beat. The 
completed the board on the river, and with it, a remarkable comeback by Romanello.
Apparently, Romanello had been riding a big stack of roughly 30,000, when he ran 
into 
for a huge pot that went big slick's way. This loss left him with just 1,000 to work with, but a series of wins later, capped by this suckout on the turn, has moved him out of the danger zone for the moment.
