Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin

In a battle of the blinds with the flop reading {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and about 30,000 in the pot, Eric Rivkin (small blind) check-called 13,000 from Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin (big blind).

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Rivkin checked to Ramdin who bet 28,000. Rivkin mulled it over for a bit before he folded.

"I have to show this man," says Ramdin, as he tabled {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a straight flush. Ramdin is also playing in the NJCOOP Main Event on PokerStars NJ on his tablet, currently sitting 7th in chips with 25 players remaining.
