The flop fell {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Thomas bet out 15,000. Ramdin didn't take too long to make the call.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, and Thomas finally slowed down with a check. Ramdin took the initiative and he bet 17,000. Thomas thought for a bit before calling.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and Thomas checked again. Very quickly, Ramdin moved all in. Thomas fell into the tank, and he was in there for a long time. Long enough for Ramdin to call a clock on Thomas. About half way through his clock time, Thomas threw in the calling chips and mucked when Ramdin showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Ramdin is an overwhelming chip leader at his table now.

Josephy Wins Huge Pot Against Dorfman

Level 12 : 300/600, 100 ante

The agression doesn't stop at table #444.

From under the gun, Dan O'Brien opened to 1,300. On the button, Cliff Josephy reraised to 3,500. With action on Randy Dorfman, he cold four bet to 10,300. The big blind folded and O'Brien let go of his hand.

With action back on Josephy, he put in a fifth bet, and almost instantly Dorfman moved all in over the top.

"Well, no gamble, no future," Josephy said throwing the calling chips into the pot.

Josephy was way ahead with {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and Dorfman would need a {J-} to catch up with his {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. The board rolled out {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} though and Josephy doubled up.

Johnny World Takes a Big Hit

Level 12 : 300/600, 100 ante

John Hennigan opened the action under the gun with a raise to 1,400. Chris Klodnicki called, as did Dylan Wilkerson from the button, Mark Scott from the small blind, and Ezra Udoff from the big blind. The five players saw the flop roll out {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Scott and Udoff checked, then Johnny World bet out for 4,000. Klodnicki and Wilkerson folded, and Scott hesitated for a long time before reluctantly releasing his cards.

The table almost suffered a procedural disaster, as the dealer started to turn before Udoff acted. Fortunately for Udoff, he was able to interrupt the dealer in time, and he then check-raised to 14,000. Hennigan quickly announced "all-in," and Udoff was put to a decision for all his chips. He thought for a minute before calling and turning over {7-Spades}{5-Clubs} for two pair. Hennigan tabled {q-Spades}{10-Spades} for a flush draw. The turn card ended the suspense, bringing the {5-Hearts} and giving Udoff a full house. The meaningless river card was the {6-Spades}, giving Hennigan a flush which was no longer good enough. Udoff doubled up, and Hennigan lost most of his stack.

Preflop, Bryan Piccioli raised to 1,200. He was three bet by Dan O'Brien to 4,000. Action folded to Brock Parker on the button who made the call. Action folded back to Piccioli who also folded.

Early Fireworks

Level 12 : 300/600, 100 ante

There's a lot of early action in today's shootout. In one hand, Victor Ramdin raised to 1,500, and Cherish Andrews, seated to his immediate left, 3-bet to 4,000. Everyone else folded back to Ramdin, who 4-bet to 10,500. Andrews thought for a moment before folding her cards.

Nearby, we came to a table on the river with a wet board reading {j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. There was well over 20,000 in the pot, and Derek Hanauer had pushed the rest of his chips forward. Nick Binger was the only other player in the hand, and he went deep into the tank. He thought for a full five minutes before the clock was called, and he eventually folded his cards. He's now down to 53,000, and Hanauer has taken the chip lead at his table with 95,000.
