Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Felipe Ramos opened to 425,000 and Jeremy Eyer called.

Eyer then check-called a 275,000 bet from Ramos on the J♠5♥9♠ flop.

Both players checked on the J♣ turn and Eyer led out for a minuscule 200,000 bet when the A♦ completed the board.

Ramos pondered a bit before deciding to call and Eyer tabled 9♣6♦ for a pair of nines. It was good against the K♥Q♠ of Ramos for king high and Eyer added to his stack.

The flop came A♣Q♠5♠ and Ramos check-called a 350,000 bet from Eyer.

The J♦ filled the river and both players checked.

Ramos revealed A♠9♦ for a flopped pair of aces, which was good against the 7♦4♥ for just seven-high and Ramos collected the pot.

Nozomu Shimizu Eliminated in 3rd Place ($287,106)

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Felipe Ramos limped in from the small blind and snap-called when Nozomu Shimizu jammed for 4,050,000 from the big blind.

Nozomu Shimizu: A♠10♦
Felipe Ramos: A♦Q♠

Ramos set the trap, and Shimizu took the bait. The J♣7♣3♥ flop was not good for Shimizu, but he added some outs after turning a gutshot straight draw as the dealer put the 8♥ on the felt. The 6♥ river completed the board, and Ramos secured the elimination.

The $287,106 payout is Shizimu’s biggest payday and follows on from a stellar year where he has already picked up an EPT title in addition to the $194,273 he banked from a €25K High Roller at EPT Monte Carlo.

In a limped pot to the A♠2♠Q♣ flop between Jeremy Eyer and Felipe Ramos, Eyer bet 200,000 with his A♦4♦ from the small blind and Ramos called with his 7♠6♠ from the big blind.

The 7♦ turn gave Ramos a pair to follow his flush draw, but he was still behind. Eyer checked, which prompted Ramos to fire out 450,000. Eyer called.

The K♦ river checked through to showdown and Eyer dragged in another one.
