Fawcett KO's Ramos, Rheem Brings Over Piles

NicholasBaltz

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Justin Fawcett, who just finished 21st in the Millionaire Maker, is off to another hot start.

Fawcett raised to 4,000 and found a call from the cutoff and Felipe Ramos on the button.

The flop came and Fawcett bet 5,000. The cutoff folded and it was on Ramos.

"I must be really crazy," said Ramos as he raised to 20,000.

Fawcett moved all in and Ramos called for his remaining 11,000.

Ramos had a flush draw but Fawcett was ahead with a pair of kings. The turn and river were no help to Ramos and headed for the exit.

"See," said Ramos. "Shouldn't have done that."

Just as Ramos was leaving, Chino Rheem took the open seat to Fawcett's right.

"Uh oh," said Fawcett, as he eyed the filled bag of chips.

Rheem is currently sitting on more than 300,000.

"Mamma mia," said Chen as he folded.
