1.65 Million Pot to Ramdin

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Victor Ramdin
Victor Ramdin

Victor Ramdin and Taylor von Kriegenbergh created a pot of 675,000 preflop holding {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} respectively. Both players proceeded to check the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, which was followed by the {7-Hearts} on the turn.

At this point, Ramdin led out for 400,000 with his flush draw and von Kriegenbergh called behind with his pair of sevens. The {A-Clubs} on the river was interesting as it gave both players aces and nines, but Ramdin's king-kicker was best. Ramdin opted to check and von Kriegenbergh wisely followed suit. Ship a 1.65 million pot to Ramdin.

And Another One

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Jeremy Ausmus

Victor Ramdin raised under the gun, and he was called by both blinds as Jeremy Ausmus and Joe Hachem came along from the small and big respectively.

Ramdin: {A-Spades} {5-Spades}
Ausmus: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Hachem: [?] [?]

The {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {9-Spades} flop gave Ramdin top pair, and he continued out with a bet. Ausmus check-called, while Hachem ducked out of the way, and it was heads up to the {7-Diamonds} turn. Now both Ramdin and Ausmus checked, and the {8-Diamonds} landed on the river. Ramdin's 225,000-chip value bet went uncalled on the end as Ausmus made another good laydown with second pair.

This Ausmus kid knows what he's doing, playing with nearly half the chips in play here four-handed.

Nice Laydown by Ausmus

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus raised to 115,000 from the button with {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and was called by the {J-Spades}{9-Clubs} of Victor Ramdin in the big blind. Both players checked the {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop leading to the {J-Hearts} on the turn. Both players checked again and the {8-Diamonds} hit the river, giving Ausmus two pair and Ramdin a straight.

Ramdin was first to act and fired out a bet somewhere around 150,000. Surprisingly, Ausmus folded.

Bryan Leskowitz Eliminated in 5th Place ($100,000)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Bryan Leskowitz

Action folded to Jeremy Ausmus in the small blind and he put in a small raise. Bryan Leskowitz was in the big blind with about a million in chips and decided to move all in. Ausmus snap-called and the cards were revealed:

Leskowitz: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}
Ausmus: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Leskowitz was in rough shape and was looking for a king or some spades to stay alive. The {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop provided none and neither did the {10-Clubs} turn. Leskowitz needed a non-club king or queen on the river to keep his title hopes alive, but it was not meant to be as the {9-Hearts} peeled off. Leskowitz was eliminated in fifth place for $100,000.
