The bet splashed and fell heavily on the table from Ramdin – his own little move. He’s more than double starting stack and is looking good so far.

It apparently started with a check from Josiah Santos in the small, as Victor Ramdin then tossed out 1300 from the big into a very wet board. The in position player called.

Then, apparently to Ramdin’s surprise, Santos check raised to 5,100 – a very hard sizing to combat, especially against a shortening stack.

Ramdin laughed and folded. “You got all the moves, brother.”

The flatter didn’t give up, though, and saw a 7c on the turn for an nasty .

Santos wagered 6500 and got a fold.

Santos, right foreground, getting in an unexpected check raise – the flatter frowns.

Ramdin, in that clever way poker players handled it, both needled Santos, laughed at himself, and called out a minor trick of the trade.

“You fell for it too, that fake muck where he slid his cards forward.”

Santos smiled broadly with charm – humorously caught by the legend Ramdin.

It took more than one hand, but John Lytle has apparently devored Dentale’s once big stack and is pushing north of 130,000

Mike has rebought and is seated on table 4.

Valerie Novak is doing well on three, over 60,000.

Event 13: Ripp Keeps Winning, Hendrix Folding Well

Meanwhile, no drama on 14, just Sean Ripp getting it in good and felting people again.

Hendrix was in the BB and recounted his check-fold proudly: pro move, and he is well above starting stack.

This time it really was from the cutoff that he opened, the very hand that Will Failla hates so much today, the . The SB, now disappeared, and Hendrix, called from the BB.

The flop comes , and Ripp bets 900 into 1600, a fairly strong bet into two players, but on the dry flop resistance may be lessened. However, the SB flatted, and Hendrix folded.

The turn brought the 3h, which not only made Ripp’s hand, it brought in a second flush draw: a recipe for being paid. He bet 2,000 and was check called by the small.

On the river 10h the action went simply check shove call, and Ripp tabled his trips.
The SB was disgusted, for some reasons, having made a loose call with , apparently hoping to see busted frontdoor clubs for his tournament life.

Ripp now has 49,000 and is not to be trifled with. In fact, the expert folder Hendrix just snap gave up on to a flop lead from Ripp after opening.

Meanwhile, Kemeter, who is aerodynamically designed to go deep in six max, is hanging on but getting short.

Mike Dentale, while mostly a cordial, fun guy and non-problem, seems to attract drama.

A possibly inebriated fellow, fidgeting with a cigarette was at his table and saying some pretty unpleasant things. Things that made the table unhappy and attracted the presence of the floor.

While the garbage talk went down – its motivation unclear – a hand came up that solved the problem.

At the top of level three, Mike picked up two queens and his antagonist flatted him pre with . They got all the money in on .

It really must have burned Dentale, who does like to complain about his luck, to see the set turned over by the troublemaker.

However, the on the river must have been all the more sweeter!

Dentale busted his villain and ran around the room in celebration.

It’s just never easy Being Mike. Here Lytle, left, torments Dentale with a river bet…

…Dentale folds and Lytle lets him pick one…

…a black Jack? Did he really go runner runner on jh9c7d10dkd? Now he has to wonder. Brutal.

Event 13: You Can Never Be Too Careful

Level 3:  Blinds 100/200

Tunney about to tilt Kusha with a sweet, honey filled nitroll on table 9.

With an SPR so low and broke it couldn’t swap with anyone, Christopher Kusha, all-in, must have put William Tunney on Ax, as he was in true agony over a call on a drawing board.

Finally Tunney put the money in with a quick motion, and Kusha complimented him on the tough call.

Then Tunney turned over , noticeably changing Kusha’s mood, who then departed after a few choice remarks, drawing dead to a gutter.

Smart move: Adam Hendrix, on 14, couldn’t bag in the Almighty, so he’s aiming for a softer field here in the six max.

The six max legend himself, Michael Kemeter, must have just stolen one, as he appears to be imitating the cat who ate the canary here.

Sean Ripp on 14 nearly doubled early, the hard way.

Yet there is reason to be careful with overpairs, as Sean Ripp demonstrated. He opened the from the cutoff, got raised by in the blinds to 1050, and made the call.

The flop came an action . The betting went lead 2000, raise, shove, call.

The drilled Ripp on the turn, and poor top set couldn’t fill.

But maybe he’s at fault… you can never be too careful.

Entries 98

Early in the six-max. Mike Gagliano, seat 1, expresses his uncontainable excitement by staring at his phone while the table folds its way through the orbit.

Will, unthrilled, on 16. A possibly insane gentleman called off his big shove in the Almighty with A3, and so now he’s here with us.

Jane Hitchcock is on Will’s right, about to take on the BB Anothony Knopp.

Pal Zagreda went b/x/b against will and got a fold on an Ax board, the usual pot control trickiness from these wily players. “Missed flush?” he inquired, but Will is in no mood to comment. A3dd, my a–, Will thought.
