Ramdin Representing Team PokerStars Pro with a Deep Run

Pot-Limit Omaha

Victor Ramdin proudly sports the Team PokerStars Pro USA badge on his arm and is doing his best to represent the team with a deep run here in Event No. 33. Ramdin's been one of the bigger stacks for most of the day, but has dropped back to the middle of the pack right now and that's where he stands.

After Joshua Tieman raised to 10,000 from the cutoff seat, Kevin MacPhee (who won the 2010 PokerStars.net EPT Berlin Main Event) made the call from the small blind and then Ramdin called from the big blind.

The three players took a flop of {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} and MacPhee was first to act. He checked to the Team PokerStars Pro USA member. Ramdin fired out a pot-sized bet for 30,000 and got a fold from Tieman. MacPhee then folded and Ramdin picked up the pot to move back over 160,000 in chips.

Two hands later, Craig Gray started the action from the hijack seat with a limp. MacPhee limped from the cutoff and then Ramdin tossed in the call from the button. Thomas Giorgi completed from the small blind and James Mitchell let everyone see a free flop from the big blind as he checked his option.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Action was checked by the first four players before Ramdin was up to act. He fired out a bet of 15,000, verbally announcing the amount before he put the chips in. One, two, three players folded over to MacPhee and he verbally announced a pot-size raise, making it 65,000 to go as the pot stood at 15,000 after he put in the call amount. Ramdin went into the tank for a minute or two. He even stood from his chair and thought about his decision while plenty of railbirds watched intensely. After a little bit, Ramdin sat back down and counted out his stack. He eventually made the fold and was left with 133,500 in chips.

Despite losing that pot, Ramdin is holding his own here in the event and doing his best for the team as he tries to become the first Team Pro to win a gold bracelet this year.
