Good Fold, One Round Penalty

Felipe Ramos raised to 400 from under the gun. The player to his left re-raised to 1,475 and the player to his left 4-bet to 3,075.

Action was folded back around to Ramos who looked conflicted. After looking at his cards a couple of more times he said, "if I get this wrong don't tell anyone!" And he open folded{q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

"I think I'll go with you," said the second raiser and folded {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. The third raiser showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and took the pot.

Not content with Ramos' fold while there was still action, the third raiser called the floor. Ramos was given a one round penalty for exposing his hand, but he left happy knowing he made the right call.

Binger Moves All In

Nick Binger moved all in for his last 1,425 with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. He was called by the player in Seat 7 and was ahead of his {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

Binger seemed to know what was in store since he stood from his chair and began collecting his things. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, giving Seat 7 the lead.

The {K-Spades} on the turn changed nothin and Binger was looking for one of the remaining nines in the deck. The river was the {K-Hearts} and Binger jokingly asked, "Did I win?"

Binger was eliminated on the hand.

Three Way Calling

Jeff Madsen raised to 250 from early position and had a caller in middle position. Action then folded to the big blind who did more than call, he moved all in for 675. Madsen and his caller decided to call this bet too.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and was checked. The turn was an {8-Hearts}, it too was checked. River? {q-Spades} Action? Checked.

Madsen showed {q-}{9-} for a pair of queens, the caller showed {5-}{5-}, and the all in player's hand went into the muck before we could see it. What we do know is that Jeff Madsen knocked him out and now has 10,000 in chips.

GG Micon

There was an early position raise to 275 and one caller. Action was folded to Bryan Micon who moved all in for 1,000. The original raiser called, and the original caller folded.

With the preflop shenanigans concluded, the players flipped over their hands. Micon showed {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and was up against {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

The board came {j-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, completely devoid of any aces, kings, or double ups for Micon.

After being eliminated Micon, gave his last words to the table. "GG guys," he said and headed off to the rail.
