Ramos Hits Quads in Four-Bet Pot
After some a raise to 3,000 from Nikolay Ponomarev in early position and a call from another player at the table, Felipe Ramos made it 13,200 to go from the big blind.
With the action back on Ponomarev, he put in a four-bet to 22,400 and Ramos was the only caller.
The flop then fell J♦6♥5♥ and Ramos checked to Ponomarev, who opted to continue for 12,000. Ramos then raised to 29,800, after which Ponomarev three-bet all in, covering Ramos's 113,500 stack.
Ramos snap called and the cards went on their backs.
Felipe Ramos: J♠J♥
Nikolay Ponomarev: 8♠7♠
Ponomarev had made some moves with his suited connector, both preflop and postflop, but was still drawing live against the top set of Ramos. The 8♣ turn gave Ponomarev a useless pair, and the J♣ river saw Ramos hit quad jacks to lock up the pot and double up.
