Rodney Ramalho Hops in Late

With about 5,000 in the pot already, on a board reading , the player in the small blind checked and Rodney Ramalho bet 1,600. Two players in late position folded and the small blind called.

The river was the and both players checked. "Board" yelled out the small blind, while chomping on some lunch. Ramalho tabled for two pair and his opponent mucked. "I had a four-high flush draw".

Ramalho hopped in to the tournament late, and has already chipped up a little bit. He's a familiar face around these parts, with almost $500,000 in career earnings. His biggest cash was for $209,000 after taking down the $2,500 No Limit Hold'em WPT Deepstacks Championship event in Calgary two years ago. He also came in second in a World Poker Tour event in 2016 in Niagara Falls for $206,000. Most recently, Ramalho scooped an $1,100 event in June right here at Playground Poker for $30,000.
