On a flop of {J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}, Senovio Ramirez III bet 111,000, Bob Slezak raised to 280,000 and Ramirez re-raised to 600,000.

"I'll show it to you," promised Ramirez as Slezak went into the tank.

Justin Sadauskas Is Eliminated By Senovio Ramirez

In a battle of the blinds Ramirez just called and Sadauskas raised to 145,000. Ramirez then moved all-in for 885,000 in total and Sadauskas called with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. Ramirez trailed with his {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, but the {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} gave him a flush draw, which hit when the {6-Clubs} fell on the turn. Ramirez's supporters sitting up in the Milwaukee's Best Light balcony cheered loudly as he took down a pot that pushed his stack up to 1.75 million and sent Sadauskas out of the Main Event.
