Ho with the Better of Two Straights

Maria Ho
Maria Ho

On a flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Maria Ho bet from under the gun only to face a raise from her opponent in early position. Ho made the call and then checked the {5-Clubs} turn. Her opponent took the opportunity to fire out a bet, which Ho check-called.

When the {8-Clubs} peeled off on the river, Ho once again checked. The early-position player bet, but this time Ho woke up with a check raise, which her opponent called.

Ho revealed {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight, which was ahead of her opponent's {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} lower straight.
