Ho Bluffs Some Off Early
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Mark Teltscher raised from the cutoff before Hai-Chi Ho made it 6,800 to go from the small blind. Only Teltscher called and the two went off to a flop.
The 9♥6♣9♠ flop checked through before Ho bet out 7,000 on the 7♥ turn. Teltscher called and the 5♥ river completed the board.
Ho checked again and Teltscher opted to bet 12,000 chips. Ho raised it up to 36,000 and Teltscher swiftly called.
Ho could only show ace-high with his A♦K♣, while Teltscher was sitting pretty on the flush with A♥Q♥. Ho lost some of his big stack early on while Teltscher chipped up nicely.
