Rico Ramirez eliminated in 3rd place

Mike Eise raised to 300,000 from the button and Rico Ramirez made the call from the big blind.

The flop fell down {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

and both players checked the see the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

fall on the turn. Ramirez lead out for 725,000 only to have Eise move all in. Ramirez called and the cards were tabled.

Ramirez: {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

Eise:

{9-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

With Ramirez needing to improve to a full house to stay alive, the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

on the river would be not what he was looking for, and consequently headed to the rail in 3rd place for a $261,963 payday.
