Victor Ramdin is running hot today, and given his aggressive style, that could spell doom for his table. After cracking Amit Mahkija's aces earlier at the table, Ramdin just won another big pot, knocking out Brandon Wong. We missed the action, but the two players got the money in on a cooler type flop for Wong. The board read 
, and Wong had two overs and a flush draw with 
. However, his pair outs were voided by Ramdin's 
for a flopped set. The board didn't provide a third spade, as it came 
, giving Ramdin a stack of around 130,000 already.
Jim Rumptz was tanking, on the river of an 
he had checked and Blair Hinkle had set him all in. Rumptz finally decided to make the call and Hinkle showed 
for second pair that had been turned into a bluff, but Rumptz flipped 
for the flopped straight which allowed him to pick up the pot. Hinkle dropped back down to his starting stack while Rumptz is back up to about 50,000.
We caught this hand with Carter Swidler and Yosuke Sekiya as the board had already been dealt out. According to the players at the table, the two got in a raising war preflop, with all of the money getting in with Swidler holding 
and Sekiya holding a dominated 
. The board never brought a sweat, as it ran out 
and Swidler took the chips to double up to around 110,000. Sekiya is still very much in it, as he dropped to just 22,000.
We just reported that Amit Mahkija had his aces cracked in a big pot against Victor Ramdin. Well after being knocked down to around 5,500, Mahkija has started the road back to recovery with the same hand. Facing a raise from Robert Georato, Mahkija shoved in from the small blind. Georato was priced in to call, even though he didnt' have a great hand.

The board ran out

Alan Sass fired out 7,200 on the river of a 
river and called Timothy Clark's raise to 26,000 pretty quickly. But when Clark turned over 
for quads, Sass could only muck his hand in response.
Soren Kongsgaard checked behind Lars Bonding on the turn of a 
board before Bonding also checked the river. Kongsgaard now bet out 7,800 into the pot which already contained 12,000 or so but Bonding decided against making the call.
When we got to the table, Blair Hinkle had just put in a four bet preflop of 6,200 after his opponent, Andrew St. Jean, had three bet him to 2,700. St. Jean decided to raise just above the minimum, putting in a five bet to 11,000. Hinkle called, and the pot already had over 22,000 in it. The flop came , and St. Jean put out a small bet of 7,200. Hinkle called, and the turn came the 
. Again St. Jean bet very small, just 7,100 this time, and again, Hinkle called. The river came the 
, and St. Jean thought for about 30 seconds before checking. Hinkle immediately checked behind, and the players showed their cards.

St. Jean: 
Hinkle had top pair top kicker while St. Jean was on a complete bluff the whole way. Hinkle took the pot, and has the early chip lead at his table at about 70,000.
As expected, the action has been very tight so far with very few flops at any of our 16 tables. However Filippo Candio looks to be the shortest stack at the moment, he's down to 10,000 already.
