According to Dan Frank, Victor Ramdin is on a serious heater.
Frank told us that the PokerStars Team USA Pro raised five straight pots and took them all down uncontested before moving all in on the sixth hand. Ramdin's dominated Stephen Chidwick's and held when the board ran .
Ramdin doubled to 410,000 chips and Chidwick slipped to 213,000.
No-Limit Hold'em is a game of ups and downs. Right before break, Victor Ramdin nearly quadrupled his stack and now he is busto.
Ramdin was headed towards the cage when he bumped into one of our tournament reporters. According to him, he was all in preflop with against an opponent's . The flop and turn were clean, but a on the river eliminated him from the tournament.
Samuel Trickett opened to 23,000 from middle position before Omer Markovitch moved all in for just under 200,000 on the button. Trickett called tabling and was racing against Markovitch's .
The flop was tremendous for Trickett and after the turned the hand was over. The on the river made it official, and Trickett was shipped Markovitch's stack to increase his own to nearly 700,000 chips.
Meanwhile, Markovitch is off to the cage to collect his winnings.

Meerkreebs:
The was a scary flop for Tran, and he threw his hands up in disgust. The on the turn was a brick, but the on the river completed Meerkreebs' flush and eliminated Tran from the tournament.
Tran angrily splashed the remainder of his chips into the pot before standing up from his chair.
"I folded an ace," tablemate Josh Brikis said. Someone else admitted to folding a jack as well.
"Oh really? That's awesome," Tran said with a sarcastic tone.
Meerkreebs silently stacked his newfound chips, and now sits with 435,000.
