Hand #60 - Rajkumar Ramakrishnan | 2009 Aussie Millions

Sam Capra has the button in Seat 8. Peter Rho raises to 80,000 and is called only by the player on his immediate left, Rajkumar Ramakrishnan. The flop comes down {5-Clubs}

. Rho checks to the aggressive Ramakrishnan, who fires out for 110,000. Rho calls after thirty seconds, with Zach Gruneberg loudly chatting away the entire time Rho is thinking.

Rho and Ramakrishnan both check the {7-Hearts}

turn. The river brings a third club, the {J-Clubs}

, and another check from Rho. Ramakrishnan bets 150,000. Rho is biting his lip and furrowing his brow. He looks confused and sighs deeply as he tries to puzzle out Ramakrishnan's likely range. He's still in the tank after a minute and starts rubbing his forehead with one hand, then shaking his head. He licks his lips in an effort to calm himself down, then finally (and reluctantly) surrenders his hand.
