Blind-Versus-Blind Cooler

Throughout the day Buck Ramsay and Mike Massri have butted heads on the feature table. The former is seated to the latter's direct right, and on more than a few occasions the two have sparred over small pots. It seemed inevitable that a big hand would develop at some point, and that's exactly what happened.

It began when action folded around to Ramsay in the small blind and he opened for 12,500. Massri pushed back to the tune of 44,000 from the big, Ramsay moved all in, and Massri called off for 201,500 total.

It was a cooler for Ramsay, who had up until that point been running very well on Day 2. The atmosphere was tense and eerily quiet as the dealer ran out the board. Massri's kings held and he immediately walked away from the table, jumped on his cell, and told the good news to whoever was on the other end. In the meantime, Ramsay also walked away from the table so as not to see half his stack shipped to his left by the dealer.
