Ramirez Makes 64
All of the other 63 matches had completed, only Juan Ramirez and Saar Wilf were left battling to decide who would take the final spot in tomorrow's third round. Ramirez enjoyed a 3-to-1 chip advantage during the latter stages of their match, but Wilf continued to survive.
On the conclusion of one hand near the end, Wilf exhaled. "We'll get there eventually," he said. "Yeah," agreed Ramirez. Soon after it was announced the new level -- with 3,000/6,000 blinds -- was starting. "We got there!" smiled Ramirez, and both laughed.
Indeed, it didn't take much longer. Down below 20,000 chips, Wilf faced an all-in raise from Ramirez, and decided his was good enough for the call. Ramirez tabled , the board went , and Ramirez is our last second round winner.
