Ramadan Survives Against Sood

David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Karl Harris raised to 12,000 in early position before Arun Sood three-bet to 25,000 in middle position. Mohamad Ramadan then moved all in for 98,000 in the big blind and Harris folded. "You're winning right now," Sood said as he called.

"I hope so," Ramadan replied.

Mohamad Ramadan: 10♦10♥ All in
Arun Sood: Q♥9♦

The 8♠7♣6♦ flop gave Sood outs to a straight. "Ten, five or a queen," he said, but he missed the 8♣ turn.

"Eight is no use to anybody," Sood said, while the 2♠ river kept Ramadan in the lead and earned him a double up.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kully Sidhu raised to 12,000 on the button, Lucia Navarro moved all in for 40,000 in the big blind, and Sidhu called.

Lucia Navarro: A♥4♣ All in
Kully Sidhu: K♥K♣

Navarro was left looking for an ace as Sidhu showed down two kings. The 10♠3♥3♣ flop was no help, while the rest of the board ran out 3♦9♣ to send the last remaining member of the 888poker team to the rail a few spots short of the money.

Jose Dasilva moved all in for 69,000 from under the gun and Martin Hellmuth called in middle position.

Jose Dasilva: A♠K♣ All in
Martin Hellmuth: 2♣2♥

The 9♠9♣5♠ flop gave Dasilva outs to counterfeit Hellmuth's pair in addition to his overcards. He picked up more outs on the 8♦ turn, but the 10♣ river wasn't one of them and Hellmuth's deuces held on to earn him a bustout.

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Gang Wang limped in from early position and Antonis Poulengeris raised to 32,000 in the hijack. Longmao Fan then moved all in from the small blind.

While Mario Trattou was tanking in the big blind, Wang folded out of turn and the floor was called over. Trattou eventually gave up his hand as well, Wang's action stood, while Poulengeris snap-called.

Longmao Fan: K♣K♥ All in
Antonis Poulengeris: Q♦Q♣

Fan had Poulengeris dominated with his kings as the flop came 8♦3♥3♣. The turn, though, was the Q♥ as Poulengeris spiked a full house. The river was the 10♠ and Fan stood up to snap a photo of the board.

"I'm going to take a photo, as well, because that never happens," Poulengeris said. The stacks were counted down and Poulengeris had 137,000 remaining. Fan was barely covered and headed to the rail.

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ravi Sheth raised to 10,000 in middle position before Chris Da-Silva three-bet to 28,000 in the cutoff. Sheth then moved all in, and Da-Silva snap-called for 160,000.

Chris Da-Silva: K♦K♥ All in
Ravi Sheth: A♠4♠

Da-Silva was a big favorite to double up with his kings, but he needed to dodge a straight draw after the flop came 5♥3♣Q♥. The 2♣ turn gave Sheth the wheel, and Da-Silva was drawing dead by the 10♠ river and headed to the exit.
