Ho Hits The Rail

The flop read {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Paul Knebel fired out a bet of 5,600. Maria Ho flat called to see the {8-Spades} hit the turn. Knebel announced that he was all in which was a bet for Ho's tournament life. After tanking, she called and showed {10-}{10-}.

Unfortunately for Ho she was shown {J-}{j-} by Knebel. She failed to improve on the river and was forced to see an exit late in the day.

Good For Grafton

We caught up to the action to find Sam Grafton and a lone opponent looking down at {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Grafton's opponent tossed out 5,000 only to have Grafton come over the top for 12,500. His opponent tanked for about a minute before finally sliding his cards into the muck. With his pick up Grafton has about 65,000.
