Ramos Makes Big Hero Call
Level 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.
