One Pair is a Go For Ho

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

After a flop of {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, the player under the gun bet 475 and Maria Ho called from the button. Both women checked when the {9-Clubs} fell on the turn and the river brought the {8-Clubs}. The first player checked again and Ho bet 650. The other player called and Ho showed her {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} which was good enough to take the pot.

Ho now has 9,400 in her stack with no rebuy chips behind. Her table will definitely be one to watch today as it also contains Kevin Saul and Melanie Weisner.
