Ramos Makes Big Hero Call

Calum_Grant

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Nozomu Shimizu opened to 250,000 from early position and Felipe Ramos defended his big blind to see the 8♥4♥2♥ flop. Ramos check-called for 125,000 which brought in the 6♠ turn. Ramos then led out for 350,000 and Shimizu called within two seconds.

On the 10♣ river, Ramos checked and Shimizu quickly fired out 950,000. Ramos went deep into the tank and rechecked his cards. It looked like he was about to fold to Ramos flicked in the one chip call and Shimizu began laughing.

Shimizu tabled his K♥Q♦ for a king-high bluff while Ramos called with the K♦8♦ which was good for just a pair of eights.

The Brazilian immediately left his feet in celebration for hero-calling correctly and the table complimented Ramos for his gutsy play.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Felipe Ramos	9,950,000 1,150,000	1,150,000
Nozomu Shimizu	2,250,000 -1,650,000	-1,650,000

Ivan Galinec Eliminated in 7th Place ($86,300)

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ivan Galinec opened to 240,000 from middle position and directly behind him, Felipe Ramos three-bet to 705,000. Action folded back around to Galinec and he pondered a bit before announcing he was all in for 4,300,000.

Ramos went into the tank and after a couple minutes, he put a small stack of chips into the middle to announce a call.

Ivan Galinec: 4♠4♦
Felipe Ramos: J♠J♣

Ramos screamed, "Yes!" when he saw that he was well ahead with his jacks.

The board ran out 2♣3♦7♥9♥3♥ — keeping Ramos out in front with his overpair and eliminating Galinec in seventh place.
