Ho Hits Runner-Runner Flush to Win Three-Way All-In

Maxime Taldir

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Allan Sannier in middle position and Ahamad Meman in the hijack had already moved all-in when Tony Ho was left with a tough decision. After a long tank, he finally slammed his 32,700-chip stack on the table to call and put himself at risk.

Tony Ho: A♣Q♣ All in
Ahamad Meman: A♦K♦ All in
Allan Sannier: A♠K♥

Ho called with the worst hand, and things didn’t look any better after a flop of 2♦5♣J♥. But luck was on his side as the 6♣4♣ runout gave him a runner-runner flush to triple-up just before the dinner break.

Mayekar Calls Off in Massive Pot Against Ogeare; Da Recalls His Stack-Saving Call

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

David Salituro

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Around 90,000 was in the middle as Seymour Ogeare and Sanjay Mayekar went to the river on a completed board of 2♥A♥A♣7♥9♥, Ogeare then moved all in, putting Mayekar to a decision for the rest of his 30,000.

"I think you have kings with the king of hearts," Mayekar said. Ogeare remained silent with the collar of his sweater covering his face as Mayekar took more than five minutes. A tablemate finally called the clock, and the countdown had nearly run out before Mayekar committed his last chips.

His suspicions proved correct, as Ogeare showed K♥K♦ for a flush. Mayekar tossed A♠K♠ into the muck as he made his way to the exit.

"That has to be the biggest pot of the day. Almost 200K," a tablemate said after the hand.

Peter Da at the same table then recalled the action when he busted Naseem Salem earlier. According to Da, Salem had raised to 900 in early position and a player in the hijack three-bet to 1,800. Da four-bet to 4,700 and Salem five-bet to 16,000. Only Da called.

The flop came 9♦6♦2♦ and Salem continued for 7,000. Da called and a Qx fell on the turn. Saleem then moved all in and Da tanked for a few minutes until he had the clock called on him.

Da ended up calling for 25,500 with AxQ♦, while Salem had KxJ♦. The river was another diamond to give both players a flush, but Da won the pot with his queen to send Salem to the rail.

With the board showing\10♦A♣A♠7♣4♣ and around 38,000 already in the middle, Gregory Lyumkis was all in for his last 11,500. Enael Garrido was deep in the tank, weighing the call for a sizable chunk of his stack.

After a long pause, Garrido tossed in the chips.

Lyumkis instantly tabled A♥K♠ for trip aces, while Garrido revealed Q♣Q♥ for two pair.

“I know that feeling,” Lyumkis said with a knowing smile as he pulled in the pot, keeping his tournament hopes alive.

Action was heads-up to the 2♥K♠8♦ flop, with just over 11,000 in the middle. Brian Luo led out from the small blind for 3.500, and Bas de Laat made the call in the hijack.

Both players checked through the Q♠ turn, and the dealer flipped over the A♦ river. Both players opted to check again, and the cards were tabled.

Luo turned over 10♠10♥, but De Laat showed J♥J♦ to take down the pot.

Sells bet 4,000 and both Lei and Orlando called.

Sells showed 10♥7♦, Lei showed J♦10♠ and Orlando turned over the 5♣4♥.
