A Few Hands with Victor Ramdin, Team PokerStars Pro
Victor Ramdin is the only Team PokerStars Pro left in the field and has made it down to the final 11 here in Event No. 33. Ramdin represents Team USA and has over $2.6 million in career tournament winnings to his name. He has 15 cashes at the WSOP, includding two from this year alone. Two of those cashes were also final table appearances.
