Roberto Romanello raised to 35K and was re-raised to 92K by Jake Daniels. He mad the call. Romanello then check called 63K on the flop, and again 217K on the turn. The river was checked by both.
Board: 
Romanello showed the 
, which had quite an effect on Daniels. He grabbed his head in his hand and shook it in disbelief, giving the partypoker pro a pretty good idea of how thin he was drawing.
The MILLIONS North America Finale is into it’s final level of play for Day 1. Late registration will remain open until the end of level 12 in Day 2, allowing for players to jump into action up until 5:30pm tomorrow.
Once the day is complete, we will publish the full player-reported chip counts of the surviving players.
Photographs from the last levels of play:
Afetr Hu Qi made it 30K to go, Mark Radoja went all-in for him remaining 350K. Jonathan Duhamel called the bet, and Qi folded.
Duhamel: 
Radoja: 
As the dealer positioned the all-in hands for the showdown, Radoja inquired, smiling, if Qi had folded an ace. Qi said no, and that side of the table shared a casual laugh. Radoja had a sip of red wine, and was very relaxed as the community cards were being revealed. Why worry, when unlimited re-entries are permitted?
Board: 
Radoja doubles up to almost a million.
Table 33 counts three of our top 5 stacks. The Finale is now playing on 6 tables, with 44 players in the arena. Philippe D’Auteuil keeps going up, counting almost 5M chips.

Matas Cimbolas, a Lithuanian pro with over 1.5M in live earnings, opened the pot to 25K. After former World Champion Martin Jacobson called, partypoker pro Joao Simao from Brazil raised it to 100K. Cimbolas gave Simao a look, and both players smiled. Was it reminiscence of a similar hand that happened earlier, or just two people trying to size each other up?
Cimbolas 4bet to 250K. Jacobson got out of the way, and Simao completed the bet.
Flop: 
Cimbolas bet 150K, and Simao called. On the 
turn, Cimbolas passed the action to his opponent, who bet out 225K. Cimbolas called, and both players checked the 
river.
Cimbolas tabled his hand: 
Simao mucked his cards.
