A (Not So) Quiet Double for Ramirez

Rico Ramirez opened from the cutoff to 275,000, only to have Mike Eise in the big blind push all in for over four million.

Ramirez didn't think twice, turning over his {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} to signify a call and be in a race against Eise's {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

The rail of Ramirez, that numbered in the teens, all stood from their chairs and pressed hard against the metal support rail screaming excessively.

The flop was slowly dealt out {5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{J-Spades} and even more screams were let out - somehow exceeding the ones previously.

"C'mon baby!" yelled one supporter as the {4-Spades} landed on the turn, and when the {8-Clubs} fell on the turn, Ramirez 2,275,000 chip stack increased to a whopping 4,600,000!

As the Tournament Director reminded the rail of the excessive celebration rule, Eise looked down at a still healthy 1,650,000 in chips.
