Ho Hoses One Away

Maria Ho opened from under the gun to 600 and found two callers from late position and the cutoff.

The flop fell down {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Ho's continuation bet of 1,500 was raised to 4,000 by her late position opponent as the cutoff mucked. Ho went into the tank before making the call and checking the {6-Diamonds} on the turn.

Her opponent slid the last of her 5,000 chips into the middle and Ho made the call.

Ho: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

With Ho well in front, things would remain that way when the {J-Spades} peeled on the river to see Ho eliminate an opponent while chipping up to 33,000 and change.
