Unlimited Lives

Felipe Ramos
Felipe Ramos

If you pool together all the cats in the world they might not have as many lives as Felipe Ramos. Not for the first time today, he was all in on an early street, this time facing Manuel Bevand.

Bevand: {2-Spades} {9-Spades}/{K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {2-Diamonds}/{3-Hearts}
Ramos: {4-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}/{9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {4-Hearts}/{Q-Diamonds}

Somehow, a pair of fours were enough for Ramos to scoop. Both players now have around 30,000, although are heading in opposite directions.

Case Two for Cantu

Brandon Cantu: {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}/{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Debbie Hickok: {Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}/{Q-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}

There was a lot of confusion about this hand: first, the floor was called to decide if someone could raise once Cantu had moved all in on third street for what I understand was 6,900, and then when the final cards were dealt, Cantu didn't realise that he'd spiked the case two to scoop the pot with an unlikely boat.

Either way, Cantu survives for a 42,000 stack, whilst an unfortunate Hickok drops to 40,000.

Taking Estock of Things

Jason Estock found himself all in while betting continued between Joseph Santagata and another player.

When they all turned over their cards, the other player's eight-seven low took half the side pot, but Estock rivered an eight-five low for half the main, putting him at 17,000. Santagata's two pair got him half of everything, and play continued.

Ante:

Warga Doubles, Call Or No

David Warga: {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} / {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Manuel Bevand: (XXX) / {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

We arrived to see David Warga all in on seventh street and Manuel Bevand considering his options.

"I need a minute," he said apologetically.

Across the table, Hoyt Verner looked at his watch and said, "Go."

Bevand returned to his tank and sighed. We're actually not sure whether he called or not in the end, as we were distracted by some action at the next table, but when we returned Bevand was mucking his hand and Warga was showing him {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a flush.

Bevand was at 40,000 after that, Warga up to 42,000.

Christopher George: {J-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}/{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
John Racener: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}/{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Mr. X: {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}/{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}

We were unable to identify one of the players above as he appears to have eaten his player card, so he shall be briefly known as Mr. X. But his moniker is rather apt in a way, as he is now an ex participant in today's event having moved all in on an early street. Racener continued the betting, but in the end, it was a chopped pot with George taking one half of the pot with trip queens, and Racener the other with an eight low. Mr. X, meanwhile, was left to return to Mrs. Y back home.

Racener now right up there with the chip leaders on a meatalicious 125,000.

Ramos Chops, Doubles, Shouts YES!

Dennis Seagle: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} / {2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} / {8-Diamonds}
David Warga: (XX) / {4-Hearts}{k-Hearts} - fold
Felipe Ramos: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} / {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} / {3-Spades}

Felipe Ramos bet out on fourth street and Dennis Seagle raised.

"Oh don't do that," complained David Warga. "Guess I should give this up then." He folded.

Ramos called all in and revealed rolled-up jacks. Seagle turned over a low draw which came in on sixth street and they chopped it up.

Ramos was still rather short, but cries of, "YES! YES! YESSSSSS!!!" from his table a few minutes later suggested that he had probably just doubled up. A trip over to his table confirmed this theory. Ramos is now at 33,500.

Woe for Womack

John Womack: (XX) / {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} - fold
Daniel Studer: (XX) / {3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

We caught up with Daniel Studer and the short-stacked John "JW" Womack on sixth street. Studer bet, Womack folded. Simple as that.

Studer was just fine after that, on 65,000.

JW, however, was left super-short, on just 4,000 - less than one big bet.
