Liam Gannon
Liam Gannon
Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ryan Ramsdekk raised to 16,000 in the cutoff and was called by Joey McCaig on the button.

The flop of {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} saw Ramsdekk bet to the tune of 21,000 which McCaig called.

The turn of {5-Clubs} saw Ramsdekk check to McCaig who bet 30,000. Ramsdekk thought briefly before he called.

The river of {4-Diamonds} saw Ramsdekk check once more and McCaig sized up to 60,000 which sent Ramsdekk into the tank. After some time he tossed in the call and McCaig turned over {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for king high and Ramsdekk turned over {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} for three queens and a jack.
