Hometown Hero Getting Short

[user66118]

Felipe Ramos had some good momentum going through the latter stages of Day 1 and the start of this Day 2, but things have cooled off of late. Ramos had slipped down around 50,000 chips when he got involved in a pot with a gentleman we don't know by name.

We caught up with the action as both men were checking through the {K-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} flop, and Mr. Opponent quickly checked again when the {5-Clubs} hit fourth street. Ramos took the cue to bet 4,200, but Mr. Opponent instantly raised to 15,000 in the form of three blue chips slung out into the middle of the table. Ramos clicked his tongue and shook his head in response, but he didn't waste much time matching the bet to see the river.

It was the {9-Clubs} , and the gentleman led out for 35,000. It was just about all Ramos had left, but he could not call. The fold came quickly, and Mr. Opponent did the table the favor of flashing his {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} as the dealer pushed him the pot.
