Ho Sends Chen to the Payout Desk

Livello 31 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Dong Chen jammed his remaining 325,000 from under the gun and found a caller from the player on the button. Maria Ho was in the small blind and jammed, forcing a fold from the big blind and the button to send herself and Chen to a runout with Chen at risk.

Dong Chen: 10♥9♠
Maria Ho: A♣Q♣

The flop removed any and all sweats as the A♥2♥A♦ left Chen drawing dead before the meaningless 2♣ and 3♣ peeled off on the turn and river, ending Chen's day and helping Ho add to her already huge chip stack.

Ho Plays Executioner Again

Livello 31 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Action folded to Stefan Nemetz who raised to 500,000 from middle postion before facing a three-bet to 1,250,000 from Maria Ho on the button. With action back on Nemetz, he paused briefly before jamming only to see Ho make the snap-call to send both players to a runout with Nemetz at risk.

Stefan Nemetz: 10♦10♠
Maria Ho: A♠K♦

The 5♣4♣A♦ flop catapulted Ho into the lead and left Nemetz looking for help with two cards to come, but when the turn and river came the 4♦ and 5♠, Nemetz was left with the second best hand as Ho sends another player to the payout desk before adding another huge pot to her growing stack.

Livello 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action folded to Drew Scott in the small blind who jammed to put Sam Greenwood in the big blind all in. Greenwood checked his cards and quickly put in the call to set up a runout and put himself at risk.

Sam Greenwood: A♥5♣
Drew Scott: K♣7♥

Greenwood was ahead going to the flop but when it came down 8♦3♣7♣, that all changed as he'd now need some help to take the lead back from Scott.

The J♥ turn card and 2♠ river offered no such help and secured the pot for Scott as Greenwood is sent to the rail in 17th place for $26,800.
