Ho Gets Paid by Geci

Level 4 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Four players saw a flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Maria Ho was the first to fire in a bet of 35,000. Endrit Geci was the only player to call sitting on her direct left.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Ho tossed in another bet of 70,000. Geci still called and the {6-Clubs} completed the board. Ho bet another 85,000 which sent Geci into the tank for nearly three minutes before finally calling. Ho tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Geci relinquished his cards.

Partypoker Online Qualifier Zegal Doubles with Full House

Level 3 : 3,000/7,000, 7,000 ante
Stanislav Zegal
Stanislav Zegal

With around 75,000 in the middle and the flop reading {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Jerry Wong led out for 50,000 from the small blind before partypoker Online Qualifier Stanislav Zegal raised to 225,000.

From the hijack, Francois Goulet called, as did Wong before the {j-Diamonds} rolled off on the turn.

Wong and Zegal both checked, and Goulet moved all in for 718,000.

Wong quickly folded, but Zegal entered the tank for several minutes. Eventually, the clock was called on Zegal, and with about three seconds remaining in his time, he called all in for 665,000.

Zegal: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Goulet: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Zegal was at-risk with his set against Goulet's nut flush, and when the river landed the {6-Hearts}, he would improve to a full house to double through to over two million in chips.

Level 3 : 3,000/7,000, 7,000 ante
Patrick Serda
Patrick Serda

Patrick Serda opened to 15,000 from under the gun and was called by Martin Raus in the hijack along with the cutoff. The flop came {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Serda continued for 40,000 which only Raus called.

The turn was the {5-Spades} and Serda placed a bet of 100,000. Raus eyed up Serda's stack and then slid forward a stack of 100,000 chips. Serda called off his last 160,000 chips and the cards were on their backs.

Raus showed {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for two pair while Serda needed some help with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. The river was the {3-Spades} and Serda headed to the exits.

Engel Bows Out

Level 3 : 3,000/7,000, 7,000 ante
Ari Engel
Ari Engel

With a completed board of {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades} spread across the table, Ari Engel checked from the big blind. Gagandeep Singh announced all in, putting Engel to the test for his remaining 360,000 chips with around 225,000 in the middle already.

Engel thought for over three minutes and tried asking Singh a few questions, but got no response. Engel eventually splashed in the last of his chips and tabled {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Singh flipped over {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for trip fours and sent Engel to the rail.
