A few hands before the elimination, Victor Ramdin had taken a good chunk off Kevin Hobbs’ stack in a blind battle. Ramdin raised from the small blind with , and Hobbs called with . Hobbs check-raised with a bottom pair, and Ramdin snap-called with an open-ended. He hit it on the turn, and as soon as Hobbs bet, he raised him all-in. Hobbs folded and was left with a little over 7M.

Shortly after, Ramdin raised to 1.3M, and Hobbs pushed his stack forward. He was called, and did not survive.

Hobbs walked away, but not before cashing $120,000. Victor Hobbs and David Eldridge are starting a even heads-up match with about 60 big blinds each.

The High Roller final table had been playing 4-way for quite some time, and saw Victor Ramdin move up in chips, while Kevin Hobbs and Jonathan Vanfleet lost a few. David Eldridge still held about half the chips in play.

Victor Ramdin, who had been rather quiet lately, apart from his incessant even-chop request, got involved from the under-the-gun position. He was heads-up with Jonathan Vanfleet, the shortest stack. Vanfleet caught a piece of the flop, and elected to go for the check-raise all-in. Ramdin’s over pair was not going away.

Jonathan Vanfleet pocketed $90,000 for his performance. Excellent work!

Viktor ”Isildur1” Blom opened the pot to 750K, and after one other player called, David Eldridge made it 2,850,000 to go. Only Isildur1 called. On the flop, David placed a continuation bet of 1,250,000 and Isildur1 called it. When the turn fell, David elected to check, and called a 2.4M bet.

Isildur1 only had 4.3M chips left on the river, and when David checked, he went all-in with them. His all-in represented a very small percentage of the pot, but he decided that there was a good enough chance that his opponent was on a missed draw, picked up on the turn. David asked for a count, and called, taking out the legend himself.

Viktor Blom cashed $72,500 for his 5th place finish. He will most likely put that money to work in tomorrow’s Super High Roller Event. Great show!

Parker had quite a rough final table. He did not see many good hands, and after being involved in a few all-ins and surviving them, he fell to Kevin Hobbs. Kevin had raised to 875K, and Parker shoved a 4.2M stack. When Kevin called, they went to showdown:

Parker won $57,500, the 6th place money. Well done!

Ami Alibay, the last local in the field, was taken out in 7th place. As we remember, he came back from a 35K stack when the big blind was exactly that during Day 1, and ran it up to 10M in Day 2.

In the end, he raised all-in with just over a million chips with and was called by David Eldridge holding . David flopped a pair, which stayed on top till the end, and busted Alibay.

Ami Alibay cashed $45,000 for his 7th place finish. Good work!
