Ramdin Jacks Himself to the Top

A player in middle position raised the action to 900. The small blind called. Victor Ramdin called in the big blind. Another player that had limped from under the gun called as well.

The flop came down {10-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. The small blind checked, as did Ramdin. The next player that had limped under the gun made a bet of 3,000. The preflop raiser folded and then the small blind moved all in. The amount was around 12,000. Ramdin then grabbed all of his orange chips and stuck them out for a reraise to 40,000. The player that bet the 3,000 folded and it would be Ramdin and the small blind heads up.

Ramdin turned over pocket jacks, {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}, to his opponent's {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}.

The turn came the {5-Diamonds} and then the river landed the {5-Clubs}. Ramdin had the best hand and scooped the entire pot to move to 107,000 chips.

After that hand, Ramdin asked the player that he had just busted if he wanted to exchange phone numbers. They did so and then the player shook hands with Victor and went on his way.
