Ho Down

As predicted during the dinner break, big chip leader Jason Ho is down a few chips, and it was indeed Peter Gould who prognosticated a potential slide.

With the action folding round to Ho on the button, he casually waved out an arm and threw in a 7.5k raise as if to say, "I'm on the button, why not raise."

Starkly contrasting in demeanour with his shades on and face unmoving, Peter makes the call enabling the two players to see a gulp-inducing {J-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} flop.

Although a few members of the audience released a slight gasp in anticipation of some quickfire action, both players opted to check the flop and see a cheap {J-Spades} turn.

Peter checked and Ho bet 15k, causing Peter to dip into the think tank as he adopted a Hellmuth-esque posture, hands firmly clasped beneath his chin.

After a momentary pause, Peter made what appeared to be (on the surface, anyhow) a reluctant call.

The river came the seemingly harmless {3-Clubs}. Peter bet 15k and Ho instantly called.

The camera didn't show the cards, but as Peter proudly revealed his hand, the dealer announced straight, so it would appear he had the Q-T.

Meanwhile, Ho showed one card and sniggered, perhaps displaying dismay at having trip jacks beaten, but that would only be an assumption as again the card was not shown to the camera.
