Ramdin Doubles Up in Epic 10 Minute Hand

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Victor Ramdin
Victor Ramdin

That was LONG.

It started simply enough, Frederic Marc Herbette and David Whalen limping from UTG and UTG+1 respectively before Victor Ramdin raised to 2,600 from middle position. Fabio Mangano then 3-bet on the button to 6,600 and the blinds and limpers all folded the action back to Ramdin.

The Team PokerStars Pro checked across to Mangano's stack before deciding to just flat call with about 22,000 behind. The flop was {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Ramdin immediately checked across to Mangano who then tanked for about 5 minutes before checking behind.

Ramdin quickly led for 8,000 on the {2-Hearts} turn and Mangano, in a repeat of the previous street, tanked again for several minutes, finally getting the clock called on him. With about 20 seconds left, Mangano moved all-in and Ramdin called instantly with {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} - the Italian needing an ace from space on the river since his holding was {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

"Ace!" said Mangano desperately but the dealer ignored his pleas and put out the {3-Diamonds}. Ramdin is now up to 62,000 while Mangano has been crippled.
