Victor Ramdin

Action folded around to the player in the cutoff and he opened to 225. Victor Ramdin peeked at his cards on the button and announced a three-bet to 550. It folded back to the cutoff who called.

The dealer fanned {6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and it was checked to Ramdin who continued for 600. Ramdin's opponent called and the {2-Hearts} dropped down on the turn. Another check prompted Ramdin to toss out a bet of 2,000. Ramdin's opponent went into the tank for about thirty seconds before finally deciding to ditch his hand. Ramdin took down the pot and is now sitting above starting stack.
