October Deepstack Results

It was a sunny October day today! 14 players trying to get a slice of the $3,000 prize pool.

With only the top three being paid, it saw some really aggressive play and lots of chip movement.

The final four were Noel, Gary, Hao and Ray.

Only just missing out on the money was Noel. Going all-in preflop with AJ against Gary with AQ. A King came out on the flop but the rest did nothing to help either side and Gary's Q holding up to take the lot.

That left Gary, Hao and Ray to wrestle for first.

Not long after, Ray went all-in with a pair of 6's which Hao called with A3 suited. The board fell in Hao's favour to give him a Spade flush over Ray's pair. Leaving Ray in third

Hao wasn't done yet. Gary tried to go all-in with KQ and Hao had AJ. Again the board favoured Hao. 4's on the flop wasn't improved for either on the turn and river and Hao's Ace played.

Hao was the victor in the end but Gary definitely put up a good fight.
