Ho Defends Her Blind and Drags the Pot
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
There was an early position open to 20,000 and action folded to Maria Ho in the big blind. She thought for only a moment before putting in the call and defending.
The 2♦2♠6♦ flop hit the felt and Ho checked. The player in early position checked and the dealer burned and turned.
The 3♥ was put out and Ho paused for a moment before putting out a bet of 38,000. The player in early position looked to want to call but ultimately thought better of it and mucked his hand.
Ho dragged the pot and is one of the top stacks in the tournament as the bubble approaches.
