Ramdin called turning over {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} and his opponent showed {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Both players had flopped nine-high straights but the {6-Hearts} hit the river giving Ramdin a better ten-high straight to earn the pot and the elimination.

Jesse Sylvia
Jesse Sylvia

Jesse Sylvia raised to 300 from middle position and Jonas Wexler called from the button. The player in the big blind was all in for his last 100 and the dealer spread the {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop.

Sylvia continued with a bet of 525 and Wexler folded. "I haven't looked" said the player in the big blind to which Sylvia replied "peel them slowly." The big blind revealed the {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a flopped flush draw and Sylvia showed {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

The turn {7-Spades} gave the player some added outs as he picked up a straight draw but he {7-Diamonds} river sealed the deal for Sylvia who scooped the pot sending his opponent to the rail.

Radoja Out

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

The player under the gun opened for 400 and was called by three players including Mark Radoja in the big blind.

The flop fell {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Radoja checked. The initial raiser bet 1,000 and got one caller. Then Radoja, after a tank, decided to push all in for about 5,300. The initial raiser folded and his other opponent made the call.

Mark Radoja: {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Spades}

Radoja was in bad shape, and it got worse after the {9-Spades} turn and {5-Diamonds} river, giving the nut flush to his opponent and sending Radoja to the rail.
