Victor Ramdin

A player in the cutoff position raised to 1,250 and Victor Ramdin popped it to 3,700 from the button. Action folded back to the cutoff and he asked for a count from Ramdin. After the stack was broken down, the cutoff announced all in and Ramdin snap-called.

Ramdin: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Cutoff: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Ramdin doubled to just over 44,000.

Binger's Trips No Good

Five players were in action on the flop of {Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. The first two players checked to Michael Binger and he bet 2,400. David Williams folded as did the player behind him. The first player who had checked made the call and the other player folded, leaving action heads up to the turn.

Binger and his lone opponent saw the {J-Spades} added to the board on fourth street. Both checked and the {Q-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn. Binger's opponent fired a bet of 5,300. After some time in the tank, Binger made the call.

"Fives full," said the player, tabling the {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a full house. Binger then showed the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for trip queens, but lost the pot. He dropped back to 41,500 after that hit.

Tilly's Best

After Matt Waxman fired 1,700 on the flop of {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}, Jennifer Tilly raised to 4,000. Waxman tanked for a long bit of time and then made the call.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts} and paired the board. Both players checked and the river produced the {K-Hearts}. Both players checked again and there was some discussion about who was to show first. Tilly then showed the {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Waxman mucked his hand.

Waxman dropped to 45,000 while Tilly increased back to 20,000.
