Early Fireworks

There's a lot of early action in today's shootout. In one hand, Victor Ramdin raised to 1,500, and Cherish Andrews, seated to his immediate left, 3-bet to 4,000. Everyone else folded back to Ramdin, who 4-bet to 10,500. Andrews thought for a moment before folding her cards.

Nearby, we came to a table on the river with a wet board reading . There was well over 20,000 in the pot, and Derek Hanauer had pushed the rest of his chips forward. Nick Binger was the only other player in the hand, and he went deep into the tank. He thought for a full five minutes before the clock was called, and he eventually folded his cards. He's now down to 53,000, and Hanauer has taken the chip lead at his table with 95,000.
