Tangam Turns a Straight to Move Over a Million

TKBluffs

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Victor Ramdin raised to 52,000 and both of the blinds called. They went three handed to the flop and it checked to Ramdin who bet 50,000.

Raj Tangam called and the player in the big blind check-raised to 125,000. Ramdin quickly folded and Tangam moved all in for 524,000.

The big blind snap called for his remaining stack of about 500,000 turning over for middle set and Tangam showed for an open ended straight draw.

The hit the turn and Tangam improved to a straight to take the lead.

The river card sealed the deal for Tangam to earn him the knockout and vault him over the million chip mark.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

We are down to the final three tables here in the Signature Room and it's Victor Ramdin back on the top of the chip counts.

Ramdin has been mixing it up in plenty of pots and his aggressive strategy is certainly paying off. He just sent a player to the rail and is closing in on the million chip mark with 960,000.

Michael Rosner has been sitting behind a big stack for much of the night and he is holding steady at the top with 825,000.
