Min-Raise Forces Shove

Livello 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

The flavor of the final table so far has been the all-in shove, however Allen Bari opted to open with a min-raise to 200,000 from under the gun.

Sean LeFort must not have believed Bari as he moved all in from the small blind to force Bari to kick his cards to the muck.

Maria Has Some Fans

Livello 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

It isn't surprising that the final four players have their fair share of railbirds, and although they are being fairly quiet, it is Maria Ho's squad consisting of Tiffany Michelle, Christina Lindley, Anita Smith and Ashton Griffin that are making their presence known.

Maria Ho just dragged a pot and they let out a chant of, "That's a Ho-lotta chips there!"

They also have some signs that read "Ho Lotta Chips", "The Ho Show" and "Take It Ho"

Suck, Re-Suck Ensures Ho Double

From the small blind, Allen Bari pushed and Maria Ho made the call for her remaining 1,540,000.

Bari: {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Ho: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Caught with his hand in the cookie jar again, Bari would love the look of the {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop as it gave him additional outs to a straight.

One of those outs would snag life on the turn when the dealer dropped the {7-Diamonds} giving Bari a straight.

As Bari's rail let out some excited cheers, Bari held his hand up signaling to wait for the river. His read would be spot on as the {9-Diamonds} would spike on the river to give Ho the better straight and send her soaring up to 3,100,000 as Bari slips to below 7,000,000 in chips.

Ho Halted by LeFort Crabs

Livello 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

With her new-found chips, Maria Ho instantly put them to use by shoving all in from the small blind. Sean LeFort made the call from the big for his final 1,230,000 as the cards were tabled.

Ho: {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
LeFort: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

With LeFort in the lead for his tournament life, the {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop gave him a further two outs to sweat as the dealer dropped the {4-Spades} on the turn to know give him a further three outs to fade with a second four counterfeiting his pair.

Fortunately for LeFort, the {8-Clubs} would land on the river to ensure he doubled to 2,530,000 as Ho moves to 1,880,000 in chips.

Maria Check-Raises

Livello 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Sean LeFort opened to 200,000 from under the gun and Maria Ho made the call from the big blind to see a {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop fall

Both players checked as the {J-Spades} landed on the turn and Ho tapped the table once again. LeFort saw this as a green light to take a stab, and he pushed out 225,000 only to have Ho slam the check-raise with a 510,000-chip raise.

LeFort folded while slipping to 2,000,000 as Ho moves to 2,580,000 in chips.

Tens-Up for Bari

Livello 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Allen Bari opened to 200,000 from the button and Sean LeFort defended his big blind as both players checked the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop.

The {10-Spades} on the turn was also checked through before Bari fired out a very delayed continuation-bet of 125,000 when the river landed the {K-Hearts}.

LeFort made the call, but was forced to muck when Bari tabled his {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for two pair as he returned to 7,420,000 in chips.

Nicholas Blumenthal Eliminated in 4th Place ($255,028)

Livello 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Nicholas Blumenthal - 4th Place
Nicholas Blumenthal - 4th Place

Maria Ho opened from under the gun to 200,000 only to have Nicholas Blumenthal move all in for 1,310,000 from the small blind. Ho made the call.

Blumenthal: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Ho: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

With Blumenthal in the lead, the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop saw Ho snatch the advantage after snagging top pair. The {Q-Diamonds} on the turn changed little, and when the {J-Spades} landed on the river, Blumenthal was sent to the rail in 4th place for a $255,028 payday as Ho moves to just under 4,000,000 in chips.

Livello 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Sean LeFort opened to 200,000 from under the gun and Maria Ho made the call from the big blind.

The {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs} board was checked through to see Ho table her {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} to collect the pot from LeFort while moving to over 4,000,000 in chips.
