Ho Gets the Straight Flush Paid Off

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Bryan Ho
Bryan Ho

With a massive pot accumulated in three-way action, Bryan Ho bet 15,000 on the river of a {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} board, from the big blind.

Robert Fortuno, in early position, put in the chips for a call, while a player in late position folded.

Ho showed the absolute nuts, turning over {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the straight flush. Fortuno mucked, and another player at the table asked if this hand will make it into the PokerNews blog, which it indeed will.

Fortuna Starts to Spin it Up

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

One hand after seeing his stack decimated by Bryan Ho's straight flush in a big pot, Robert Fortuna got all of the chips in preflop, against one opponent.

Robert Fortuna: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Board: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Fortuna's fortunes didn't look good when the cards turned over, but the flop proved intrestng for both players, with top pair coming in for Fortuna's opponent, but also a flush draw for Fortuna. The flush came in on the river {8-Spades}, and Fortuna got back up to the 10k mark.

Successful Shove for Ramos

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Three players went to a {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Spades} flop in a single raised pot.

The under the gun player checked the hijack bet 2,000, and Alex Ramos called in the cutoff. The under the gun player folded, and the action went heads up to the turn.

That turn brought the {7-Hearts}, the hijack bet 4,000, and Ramos instantly raised all in for his remaining 13,100. The hijack didn't take long to make the fold.
