We arrived in time to see Maria Ho four-bet ship over a three-bet to 2,100 from David Tuthill on the button. Tuthill called for his tournament life of what looked to be around 13,000.

The board ran out , ensuring that Ho's jacks would hold as the best hand. Tuthill made a quick exit from the tournament area while Ho added new chips to her stack. She now sits around 35,000.
Tuthill quickly took to Twitter after the hand, announcing that he would be re-entering today's flight.
On August 4th, 2014, Bambi Trotter and her 21 month old son were involved in a head on collision that left Bambi in grave condition. She suffered a traumatic brain injury, broken pelvis and leg, and a shattered foot. Miraculously, her son walked away with minor injuries and was released from the hospital on the same day. Bambi is a kindergarten teacher and her husband, Richi, is a high school football coach in Texas. Richi's twin brother, Reggi, is an avid poker player who has a WSOP Circuit ring to his credit. Earlier today, Reggi sent out the following tweet:
"She's passed the critical point," Reggi told us on break. "Now it's a matter of what she'll be able to regain. Unfortunately, since the accident happened before the school year she wasn't able to use benefits and so I'm trying to do what I can to help her."
Hopefully, Reggi is able to make a deep run to contribute to Bambi's cause but regardless of Reggi's finish, we at PokerNews wish Bambi a full and speedy recovery.
