Rico Ramirez opened the pot to 125,000 before Jose Luis Franco shipped it for 600,000 total.

The blinds passed and Ramirez pondered only slightly before making the call.

Franco: {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Ramirez: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

In dominated shape, Franco would find some hope of a flop that gave him an additional eight outs to go along with his three three's when it dropped {9-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

However the {J-Hearts} put Ramirez in the lead, but actually changed little in the hand as Franco gained three Queens for a chop-draw.

The river would land the {7-Hearts} to see Franco hit the rail in 8th place for a $83,180 payday as Ramirez extended his chip lead with 4,670,000 to his name.
