Victor Rammin'
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
In early position, Victor Ramdin came into the pot with a raise to 8,800. Pierre Milan was on the button, and he slipped his headphones on before making the call to go heads-up.
The flop came out 
, and Ramdin continued right out with another 13,900. Milan made the call once again, and Ramdin checked to him after the 
turn. Now Milan took his cue to bet 21,700, and Ramdin flicked the calling chips off his stack and into the pot. That brought them to the 
river, and Ramdin checked it again. This time, Milan checked it back.
"Two pair, Ramdin said," and Milan nodded that it was good. Ramdin tabled his relatively meager 
, and it was still good, though it drew a wide-eyed head shake from Milan.
Ramdin's doing some good work here today, up over 400,000 now.

We've Lost Another Team Pro
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Well, he's still in the tournament, but we've lost Juan Manuel Pastor to the featured table. The Spaniard has taken the seat to the direct right of Vanessa Selbst, possibly the worst seat in the room. He's too far away for us to even count his chips, but we'll try to get an update on his status during the upcoming break.
Moorman is Gone, Man
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Chris Moorman must be wishing he had some sort of bubble protection as he's fallen short of making the money here in Barcelona. He was taken out by the larger than life Mario Adinolfi, who is back over the 400,000 chip mark.
The Italian raised from the button and called when Moorman shoved from the small blind.
Moorman: 
Adinolfi: 
The Italian flopped an ace on the 
flop meaning it a was all over by the 
turn. The young British online superstar wished everyone luck and headed of to tell some friends of his demise.
Selbst Shoves
As you are probably aware by now, we really don't have any access to provide you updates from the televised featured table. That's Vanessa Selbst's table, though, so we're doing our best to crane our necks and get some sort of information. A moment ago, we was Vadzim Kursevich open the pot with a raise from the cutoff seat, and Selbst three-bet him to 22,500 from the button. When it came back around to the initial raiser, he went ahead and four-bet to 59,500. He can't really be faulted, but Selbst was not monkeying around. "All in," she announced, committing her last 300,000+ to the pot. From the distance away we were, it looked like Kursevich had just about exactly as many chips as Selbst, so he was considering a decision for his own tournament life, or at least very close to it. Selbst sat as still as a statue as Kursevich studied her carefully, and he finally decided to cut his losses as he uncapped his cards and surrendered them.

Queen of Brazil
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
PokerStars qualifier Yury Gulyy picked up 
in the cut-off and moved his 52,400 stack over the line. It was a case of bad timing though as Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari was waiting in the big blind with 
.
The board ran 
. The Brazilian is back up to 190,000 chips now.
Becker Serves a Pair of Aces on Adinolfi
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Team PokerStars SportStar Boris Becker's dreams of cashing here in Barcelona are still alive as he just doubled-up through Mario Adinolfi. Becker was down to 39,800 so he had no choice but to commit them all preflop.
Becker: 
Adinolfi: 
The board ran 
. Set one of this third round match goes to Becker of Germany.
Flop Check-Raise Works for Larsen
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
With the board reading 
, Thomas Larsen checked to Andrey Gulyy. Gulyy fired 19,600 and Larsen check-raised to 65,000. Gulyy tanked for a bit, but eventually gave it up and Larsen won the pot.
Leo Tamed
First into the pot from late position, Leo Fernandez opened to 9,900, and David Sonelin made the call next door. Heads-up, the two men took a 
flop. We stepped away from the action for a moment at this point, but we gather that Fernandez got in a check-raise on the flop which Sonelin called. That's second-hand info, so take it for what is, but we did pick up the action once again as the landed on the turn. Fernandez took pause for a long couple minutes now, and he eventually slid out a bet of 30,000 into a pot of close to 80,000. Sonelin didn't waste much time announcing the all-in raise, and Fernandez was put to the decision for his last ~94,000 that he had left behind. It'd be another couple of minutes before he made his play, putting both hands behind his fortress of chips and sliding them all across the betting line. It was as if he knew he wouldn't be getting them back.
Showdown
Fernandez: 
Sonelin:
Fernandez's two pair was second best, and he needed to fill up on the river to stay alive. It was a blank though, and that duck has sent the lion pacing slowly away toward the exit.

Ramdin Over 300K
From the cutoff seat, Victor Ramdin raised to 8,800. Pierre Milan called out of the big blind and opted to see a flop with the Team PokerStars Pro. After the 
was spread in the middle of the felt, Milan checked and Ramdin fired a continuation bet of 13,000. Milan folded and Ramdin showed the 
for flopped at least top pair.
Ramdin is now over the 300,000-chip mark.
