Maria Ho Doubles Through Jason Welch

Jason Welch opened the pot for 36,000, Maria Ho re-raised, and Welch moved all in... BUT... Welch flipped over his {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} before Ho even had a chance to act. Ho went into the tank for a few minutes before deciding to call for her tournament life with {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}. The flop was {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, pairing Ho's ace. The turn was the {K-Diamonds}, the river was the {6-Clubs} and she doubled up to 175,000.

A professional player from the Los Angeles area, Maria Ho is one of only two women remaining in the field. Kelly Jo McGlothlin is the other.
