Travis Colella
Travis Colella

Travis Colella, wearing an impressive orange suit with matching hat, bet 10,000 from early position. The player in middle position made the call, then John Srisouraj moved all-in for 48,000. Colella got out of the way but middle position called.

John Srisouraj: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Middle Position: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

A king in the window on a flop of {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Hearts} put Srisouraj in the lead and improved to a straight when {j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} completed the board to give Srisouraj a timely double up.

Okrah Comes Out on Top Against Huge Stack

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The players had already put about 150,000 in the middle with a {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs} board.

After a check from Yang Yanxiang in the cutoff, Manny Okrah fired 110,000 from the button.

Yanxiang took his time making his decision, clearly having a difficult time. After several agonizing minutes for Yanxiang, he made the fold, giving Okrah the huge pot.

"Good fold" remarked Okrah as he raked in his winnings.
