Couden Flops Boat to Eliminate Thorpe and Ramos

Connor Richards

Level 12 : 3,000/5,000, 0 ante

Mike Thorpe had taken a big hit to his stack before he got the rest of his chips in the middle in a three-way pot against Joey Couden and Felipe Ramos, both of whom had Thorpe covered.

"You can write about this bust-out hand," Thorpe told PokerNews as the preflop action played out. "I feel like I'm about to be knocked out."

The flop came and Ramos checked to Couden, who bet. Ramos check-raised and Couden called. The rest of Ramos' chips got in on the turn.

Mike Thorpe:
Felipe Ramos:
Joey Couden:

Couden had flopped a full house to have both opponents drawing dead headed to the river to score a double-knockout.

"Good game. See you guys later," said Thorpe as he left the tournament area.

At the same table, Julien Martini has managed to run up a micro-stack through multiple double and triple-ups to now sit with a healthy arsenal of 240,000 chips.
