Ramirez Flops it, Doubles Through Raymer

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Greg Raymer was on the button and bet 2,500 after it was checked to him on a flop that read {9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, Javier Ramirez called.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}. Ramirez checked again and Raymer bet 5,000 this time, which Ramirez called again after a pause.

The river came the {8-Hearts}. Ramirez checked once more, and Raymer applied maximum pressure by putting in a large stack of 5,000 chips, enough to put Ramirez all in.

Ramirez waited about five seconds before making the call and Raymer turned over the {6-Clubs}{7-Spades} while Ramirez showed the {10-Hearts}{k-Clubs} hammer for the winning hand.

"Easy call" said Raymer as a decent portion of his stack went over to Ramirez.
