James Romero recently joined table 65 and has just doubled through Erik Lemarquand to give his stack a healthy bump. We arrived at the table on the flop with the board reading , and James, who had been in the sb, bet 2,900 with less than 30K behind. Action moved on Erik, who spent some time considering his options before raising to 30,000 – enough to put James all in. James made the call.
