Ramos' Roller Coaster
We walked up to a flop of to see Felipe Ramos fire out 15,000 into a pot of about that much. His lone opponent had let him make that bet before check-raising all in for 45,200 total. Ramos took a soak in the tank for several minutes as he assessed the potential damage to his stack. Finally, he double-clutched and plunked the calling chips into the pot.
Showdown
Ramos:
Opponent:
The turn made things awfully interesting as Ramos picked up eight more outs to try for the knockout. He couldn't find any of them, though, as the locked up the pot and the double for the at-risk player. Ramos would have shot himself into the top five if he could have dragged that pot, but he's still doing just fine with about 160,000 now.
