Berman Gets a Shove Through
No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Phil Ivey raised to 12,000 and Mike Gorodinsky on the button three-bet to 35,000. Felipe Ramos called in the small blind and Lyle Berman then jammed for 239,000 in the big blind. Ivey and Gorodinsky folded while Ramos was pained by the decision.
"Can you feel the pain?" he asked the dealer who shook his head.
"I want to know what you would do with this hand," Ramos then asked after he had folded and tossed the cards towards Phil Ivey.
"I don't want to see it," Ivey replied and tossed them back towards the middle of the table from where Ramos grabbed them and exposed his 10x7x6x3x2x.
"Call for sure," Gorodinsky replied while Berman then sweated his cards with Matthew Schreiber and Johannes Becker. He had mentioned during the hand not to remember what he had and exposed the 8x5x4x3x first. Very slowly, he peeled the final card which was an ace before collecting the pot.
