"Thanks for the Call"

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante
Gerald Denicholas
Gerald Denicholas

On a flop of {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} Gediminas Uselis checked to Rayan Chamas who bet out 1,200, Gerry Denicholas raised to 2,400 and the action was back on Uselis who put in a stack of 5,000 chips to equal 35,000. Chamas got out of the way and Denicholas called off his remaining 4,200 chips.

Gediminas Uselis: {2-Spades}{3-Spades}
Gerry Uselis: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}

Uselis was leading with his pair of threes but the turn {5-Spades} left him drawing to a straight flush which couldn't connect as the {5-Hearts} landed on the river doubling Denicholas up. "Thanks for the call," Denicholas joked as he scooped the pot.
