Randy Can't Lew(s)

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We saw Randy "nanonoko" Lew call a player's all in bet of 8,200 before the flop, and the PokerStars Team Pro rolled over the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. His vulnerable opponent tabled the {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and was trailing the pocket pair.

A clean run out of {8-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} left Lew's tens in front, and he notched the elimination while padding his stack.

Super Maria

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Maria Ho Has Chipped Up Steadily Throughout Day 1
Maria Ho Has Chipped Up Steadily Throughout Day 1

With the board reading {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, and more than 4,000 already in the pot, Maria Ho led out on fifth street for a bet of 3,375.

Her opponent did not appear to like this development, but he made the crying call, only to find Ho held the {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. After flopping a gutshot straight draw, Ho had improved to a double belly-buster draw on the turn, and the river fit her hand perfectly.

Just a few hands after moving to a new table here in the Brasilia Room's Gold section, Ho is picking up right where she left off.

Victor Ramdin

We arrived at the table to catch the action on the flop where the board read {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Victor Ramdin was heads up with an opponent and the player moved all in for his last 1,500. Ramdin called and the hands were turned over.

Ramdin: {Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Ramdin's pair of treys was ahead on the flop and he made two pair when the {Q-Hearts} hit the turn. The {4-Spades} finished off the board and Ramdin was able to reduce the field by one. His stack now sits at 19,800.

Negreanu Doubles

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Daniel Negreanu, who just slipped in the tournament at the end of the late registration period, has already found a double up. We arrived at the table to find Negreanu all in and at risk for his last 5,375 before the flop. Negreanu held {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and was up against an opponent's {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Negreanu was able to score the double. He's now sitting around 11,000.

Occam's Racener

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

We saw 2010 WSOP Main Evenr runner-up John Racener involved in a preflop raising war, one which eventually saw the pro surrender.

After a player opened for 425, Racener popped it to 1,025, but his opponent topple his stack over into a pile, signifying an unconventional all in move. Studying the situation for about a minute, Racener finally decided that simplest answer is usually correct, and he made the fold.

Unfortunately for Racener, this hand was a sign of things to come, and he was eliminated just a few deals later.
