Ramdin and Cada Bust

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Victor Ramdin - Eliminated
Victor Ramdin - Eliminated

Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin was faced with an all-in bet from Ramzi Jelassi on a board of {7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}. There was about 50,000 in the middle, and the bet was for around 30,000 or so. Ramdin tank-called, and the hands were opened.

Jelassi: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Ramdin: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The {7-Clubs} bricked on the river, and Ramdin hit the rail.

At an adjacent table, fellow Team Pro Joe Cada was eliminated. We think we overheard him tell Ramdin that he had pocket queens against an opponent's aces.

Less Than Jake

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Jake Cody
Jake Cody

Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody opened to 1,000 preflop before James Akenhead reraised to 2,350 in the next seat. It was passed around to Viktor Blom, who cold four-bet to 4,650 from late position, and then folded back Cody who opted to move all in for around 11,000.

Akenhead rechecked his cards and folded but Blom slid in the call.

Blom: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Cody: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Anyone hoping for an exciting board was to be disappointed as Blom flopped the joint with the board coming {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. The Swede is up to about 80,000

Sahamies Wins 100K Pot

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Ilari Sahamies doubles
Ilari Sahamies doubles

According to Matthias De Meulder, he lost a 100,000-chip pot to Ilari Sahamies. De Meulder informed our Dutch blogger that the Finnish High Stakes opened to 1,100 from the hijack seat, and a third called on the button. The flop was {K-}{9-}{6-} rainbow, Sahamies continued for 1,800, and De Meulder raised to 4,150. The third player folded, Sahamies raised to 10,600, and De Meulder called.

The {8-} on the turn brought a possible flush draw, and Sahamies fired 12,000 with 18,000 behind. De Meulder put him all in, Sahamies called, and the hands were opened:

Sahamies:{7-}{5-}
De Meulder: {9-}{9-}

The river did not pair the board, and Sahamies doubled.

Minieri Gonna Minieri

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Ike Haxton
Ike Haxton

Team PokerStars Pro Dario Minieri is well known for his hyper agressive playing style and PokerStars Team Online Isaac Haxton just showed that he was very much aware of that.

The board read {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} when we saw Haxton facing a shove from Minieri who moved in for 20,100 chips. There was about 15,000 in the pot already and it took Haxton quite some time to figure it out. Eventually he made the call and Minieri tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Haxton turned over {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and busted the Italian pro.

"Very good call," Minieri said as he left the table and saw his chips get pushed over to Haxton.
