Ramdin Stumbles

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

We walked up to a pot brewing between Victor Ramdin and a young player in Seat 1 whose face we don't recognize. The board read {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {2-Spades} when we walked up, and there was about 14,000 in the pot already. Ramdin checked pensively, and his opponent stacked out a bet of 11,075 and dumped it across the line. Ramdin instantly called.

Seat 1 tabled {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts} for the set, and Ramdin could not beat it. He mucked, dropping to about 7,100 in the process.

Adam Levy

In a raised pot, the flop was {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} between Adam Levy and one other player. Levy was up first and checked before his opponent also checked.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Levy checked again. His opponent took a stab for 1,700 and Levy called to see the {6-Diamonds} add a fourth diamond to the board on the river. Levy checked and his opponent checked.

Levy showed the {A-Spades}{4-Spades} for a pair of aces and his opponent mucked his hand. Levy moved back to 20,500 in chips by raking in this pot.

Cheong Drops a Pot

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a {10-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} flop, a player in the blinds put out a bet of 700, drawing a raise to 2,025 from his heads-up opponent, Joseph Cheong. The bettor called the raise, bringing them to the {6-Hearts} turn. The blind checked to Cheong now, eventually calling a bet of 3,325 to see the {5-Spades} river. Both men checked.

The gentleman in the blinds tabled {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} for top pair with the ace, Cheong triple-checked his cards before returning them to the muck.

Cheong has dropped to 22,600 here in the early going.

Eslami Gets There Without Looking

Matt Waxman took a breather from eating his burger to raise to 300. Ali Eslami called blind from the big blind and the flop came down {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Eslami checked, still having not looked at his hand, and Waxman bet 375. Eslami made the call.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Eslami checked again. Waxman bet 1,100 and now Eslami said he had to look at his hand. He squeezed and peeked, then made the call.

The river completed the board with the {5-Hearts}. With a pair of fives now on board, Eslami checked. Waxman bet 1,825 and Eslami came back with a check-raise to 6,825. Waxman called.

Eslami tabled the {J-Spades}{5-Spades} for trip fives and won the pot. Pretty good for not looking at his hand until the turn.
