Triple Elimination at Table 7

Joe Ramos, of San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino in Highland, California, got the best of three all-in opponents with a straight flush.

Ramos, sitting in second position, led out with a raise to 600. The player in fourth position called, putting himself all in. The player in the hijack position called, as did the player in the cutoff, also putting himself all in.

With two players already having committed all of their chips, the flop came {5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The player in the hijack bet his last 500 chips and Ramos called.

Ramos, having everyone covered, tabled {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. The player next to him showed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, the player in the hijack position showed {j-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and the cutoff player showed {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, giving the cutoff a queen-high flush and, for now, the best hand. However, the {9-Hearts} on the river gave Ramos a nine-high straight flush and about 13,000 chips to boot.
