Addamo's River Call Halts Ho

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Maria Ho raised to 4,200 from the cutoff and was called by Michael Addamo in the big blind.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Hearts} and Addamo checked. Ho continued for 3,700. Addamo called.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and Addamo checked again. Ho fired 8,500. Addamo called.

The {10-Hearts} completed the board and Addamo checked for a third time. Ho used up all her allocated time before betting 19,500. Addamo then went into the tank, and even used a time-extension, before making the call.

Ho reluctantly tabled {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for ace-high before Addamo revealed {k-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a pair of kings and the winning hand.

Izutsu Takes Chip Lead, Burns Uses All His Time

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Hideki Izutsu
Hideki Izutsu

Dominik Nitsche opened to 4,500 from the cutoff and Kahle Burns called on the button, as did Michael Soyza in the small blind.

From the big blind, Hideki Izutsu three-bet to 30,000, and after Nitsche folded, Burns called and Soyza mucked.

The flop landed {J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Izutsu checked over to Burns who bet 23,500. Izutsu quickly check-raised to 50,000 and Burns called as the {7-Spades} landed on the turn.

Izutsu looked at the dealer and announced he was all in.

Burns instantly asked for a count, and once the dealer broke it down, Izutsu's all-in bet was for 208,600 total.

Burns began to deliberate, and as his initial 30 seconds was set to expire, he flicked in a time extension button.

As that additional minute counted down to expiry, he tossed in his final time extension button.

"Five, four, three, two," counted down the dealer before Burns folded.

Izutsu dragged in the pot and claimed the chip lead off Burns.

Ho Eliminated by Loeser

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

Maria Ho opened in middle position to 4,100 and Manig Loeser called from the big blind.

The flop landed {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Loeser checked over to Ho who continued for 4,500. Loeser used his full extension of time and then check-raised to 50,000. Ho quickly called all in for 38,600 total and the cards were tabled.

Ho: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Loeser: {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Ho was ahead with her top pair, but Loeser had outs to clubs or a jack.

The turn landed the {6-Spades} to now give Loeser additional outs to a seven, and when the river landed the {7-Clubs}, Ho would be eliminated by Loeser's flush.
