Stacking
We noticed a pretty large stack among the masses, and after a bit of investigation it turned out the owner was Michael Zemlyansky, a New Yorker with more than $100,000 in live earnings to his credit.
Before we could stick around to catch Zemlyansky in a hand, however, we heard the usual commotion associated with an interesting hand happening behind us. Sure enough, a doozy of a deal was going down.
Dinesh Ramnauth found himself in a huge hand holding the ![]()
on a ![]()
![]()
board. When his opponent rolled over the ![]()
, Ramnauth discovered he held six more outs than he likely anticipated having, as jacks and eights would also put him on top in addition to diamonds.
Turn: ![]()
River: ![]()
Although Ramnauth had missed the draw he went with, the river brought an eight on board, pairing Ramnauth and sending his opponent to the rail wondering why he ever played deuce-seven in the first place.
