A Grivas Hand for Ramdin

Victor Ramdin
Victor Ramdin

Shortly after that double-up for Victor Ramdin, he found himself on the other end of one versus Gregory Grivas. Grivas was all in before the flop with {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} against Ramdin's {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, but the turn was the {10-Spades}, giving Grivas the set. The river was the {4-Spades}, and Grivas doubled to 112,000. Ramdin fell back to 70,000 after that one.

Unfortunately for Grivas, he was eliminated shortly thereafter, leaving Ramdin and three others battling.

Play Resumes

Most -- but not all -- of our remaining 78 players are back in their seats as the first hands of Level 5 are being dealt.

Among those who haven't quite made it back yet are Derric Haynie and Joseph Morneau -- currently heads up over at Table 374, at which the dealer waits patiently, arms folded.

Level: 5

McBride's McBusted

William McBride was eliminated by Kristian Lunardi recently. The two got all the chips in preflop and it was race time:

Showdown
McBride: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Lunardi: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop gave Lunardi a set of jacks, but McBride was still alive with an open ended straight draw. Unfortunately the {q-Hearts} on the turn gave him a meaningless pair and the {3-Clubs} bricked on the river sending him to the rail.

With the knockout, Lunardi now sits with 81,000 chips.

That's The Trick

Andras Kovacs had Samuel Trickett all in and at risk preflop earlier. Trickett was comfortably ahead with {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against Kovacs' {k-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop gave Kovacs a flush draw, but the turn and river were both red; {8-Diamonds}, {10-Diamonds}. Trickett survived the sweat, doubling to 50,000 chips.

Obrestad Sends Out Sitron

In one of the last hands of the fourth level, Annette Obrestad eliminated Scott Sitron. All of Sitron's chips went in following a {4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop. He held {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, but Obrestad had a flush draw with {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. The {J-Clubs} turned, giving Obrestad the flush. The river was the {A-Diamonds}, and Sitron is out.

Obrestad is up to 117,000 and leads her seven-handed table.
