Felipe Ramos Eliminated in 7th Place (��23,478)
Felipe Ramos was the shortest stack coming back from the break, and in a trio of unpleasant experiences, that stack has been reduced to zero.
Hand 1
Ramos raised to 27,000 under the gun and Willie Tann - who if you remember was responsible for most of the damage to Ramos' stack before dinner - called in the cutoff. Ramos had only 50,000 behind, but that didn't stop him check-folding to a pot-sized bet from Tann on the flop.
Hand 2
Next hand, John Racener (mid position) and Jeff Madsen (small blind) both limped in. Ramos resignedly checked his big blind, and they saw a flop.
In fact they saw a turn and a river too - they checked it down and the board read by the end of it. Racener turned over , the other two mucked, and Ramos' stack was now 40,000.
Hand 3
Ramos' head and stack alike sank a little further towards the felt with each of these hands, and we couldn't see his face at all when he potted from the small blind - it had folded around to him, and he duly stuck in 30,000, with 10,000 left behind.
Joe Serock tanked up for a while before calling; the rest of the chips went in on the flop.

Ramos had flopped a gutshot draw, but Serock had flopped two pair which filled up on the river for good measure.
Now we are six, as the poet said.
