Ramos Dominated, Eliminated
David Plastik opened to 4,200 from the cutoff, and Gavin Griffin three-bet to 10,500 from the button. In the big blind, Felipe Ramos looked down despairingly at his little stack of 7,100. He said, "I don't know what I'm thinking about," and he slid his baby stack in there. Plastik folded, and Griffin got a rebate as the cards were turned up:
Griffin:
Ramos:
There was a jack on the flop, and the board of ushered Ramos out the door.
"Who was that again, Gavin?" Jim Collopy asked from across the table.
"Felipe Ramos," Griffin answered. "Mojave."
"Seems like a nice enough kid," Collopy said.
"Yeah, great kid. Super nice."
He does indeed seem like a nice guy, but nice guys apparently finish shy of the money today. Griffin, on the other hand, is up to 154,000. Though he seems like a nice guy too.
