"I lost two big hands during the first level of the day," Ramos told PokerNews. "Old gentleman to my left, very friendly, super nice guy, makes it 1,000, one player calls, I call 
from the big blind. Flop comes 
with two hearts. I check, he bets 3,000, other guy calls, I check-raise to 10,500, he calls, and then the other guy raises to 30,000!
I tank for five minutes and fold, other gentleman goes all in with 
and the third guy had ," Ramos explained how he got away relatively unscathed after flopping set under set.
Ramos then picked up 
on the button and raised to 500. An opponent made it 1,300 from the small blind and he called to see an all-heart 
flop appear. Ramos' opponent bet 2,300, Ramos raised to 6,000 and his opponent instantly shoved all in.
"I tank forever but I cannot fold this hand, even when it's Day 1 of the Main. I call and he shows the dream!" Ramon excitingly said about his opponent's 
, making him a 97% favorite to win the hand. However, the turn and river ran out 
and 
to improve his opponent to an unlikely boat and Ramos was left with 13,100 in level 1.
Short stacked, he continued for two more levels before losing his final chips with to and busted out of the Main Event early.
