Ho Hero Calls Potis; Advances Shortly After

Liam Gannon

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Maria Ho raised to 5,000 on the button, and Anthony Potis called in the big blind.

The flop of 6♦3♠5♠ saw Potis check over to Ho, who bet 4,000. Potis raised to 13,000, which Ho called.

On the turn 10♣, Potis continued for 25,000, and Ho called.

Potis sized up to 55,000 on the river Q♣, and Ho thought for a bit before calling to create the biggest pot of their table.

Potis turned over 9♠7♦ for a missed straight draw, and Ho turned over 8♥6♠ for a pair of sixes.

"Great call," Potis said to Ho as the two of them sat at one of the self-proclaimed friendliest tables in the room.

A short while later, Potis' remaining chips were in the middle, and he was eliminated from the tournament, while Ho advanced to the second day.
