Patrick Serda Surges
Level 5
: 250/500, 75 ante
Patrick Serda, who last month finished runner-up in the EPT Prague €10,000 High Roller, raised to 1,200 under the gun only to have Georgios Vrakas three-bet to 3,100 from the button. The blinds both folded, Serda called, and the flop came out 
.
Serda check-called a bet of 3,500 and then check-called one of 6,700 on the 
turn. When the 
completed the board on the river, Serda opted to lead out with a hefty bet of 24,500. That sent Vrakas into the tank for a couple of minutes, and he ultimately conceded the hand.
