Back in December, James Romero took down the 2016 Five Diamond World Poker Classic at the Bellagio for $1,938,118. Today, he’s in action looking to claim the MSPT Poker Bowl title.

In a recent hand, with the board reading  6h kc 3d qd, the player in the big blind jammed for 31,300 and Romero called from under the gun.

Romero:  kd 10h

Romero had the better pair, and it held after the  5c was run out on the river.
