Luc Ramos Among the Next to Fall

It is unclear when exactly the chips go into the middle but it was certainly post flop when Luc Ramos has the best of it preflop with K♦ K♣ only to end up second-best to the A♥ T♥ of Nabil Cardoso. On a board of T♣ T♠ 6♦ 5♥ 3♦ , Cardoso flops trips and takes it all off Ramos.

Hungry Luc Ramos Doubles Thru Abhinav Iyer

With 8,500 in the middle to the K♦ J♠ T♦ flop, Luc Ramos check-raises from 3,000 to 6,600 against Abhinav Iyer and the latter calls. Ramos bets the Q♣ turn for 8,800 and Iyer comes along to then see Ramos check the K♣ river.
Iyer moves all-in with the covering stack and Ramos is in the tank.
"I didn't eat so much today, I am hungry," Ramos says but doesn't appear to try and get any information with this statement. Half a minute later, Ramos calls and his A♦ J♦ is good, as Iyer only has J♥ T♥ .
"I didn't have breakfast," Ramos adds after all is over.
