Ho Gets the Straight Flush Paid Off

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Bryan Ho
Bryan Ho

With a massive pot accumulated in three-way action, Bryan Ho bet 15,000 on the river of a {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} board, from the big blind.

Robert Fortuno, in early position, put in the chips for a call, while a player in late position folded.

Ho showed the absolute nuts, turning over {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the straight flush. Fortuno mucked, and another player at the table asked if this hand will make it into the PokerNews blog, which it indeed will.

Mark Feinberg and Richard Lanes are both back in the field for Day 1b, after staying through most of the Day 1a flight but not quite making it through.

Feinberg thought it over for awhile, eventually deciding to fold.

Qao Comes Back for More

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Tailong Qao made it through the Day 1a flight with the shortest stack of the 12 surviving players. He's back in the field for Day 1b, and he'll have the option of forfeiting that small stack if he makes it through today's flight with a bigger stack.

His latest pot came in a hand where Qao bet 600 from the big blind on the turn, with the board reading {9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. A player in early position called, bringing forth the {10-Spades} on the river.

Qao bet again for 1,500, the opponent called, and Qao showed {k-Spades}{3-Clubs} to take down the pot.
