Ho Wins the Battle of King-High

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

With about 45,000 in the pot, on a board reading {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}, Tam Ho shoved all-in for 120,000 from the small blind. Gregory Hartwick was in the big blind and asked for a count, clearly in agony over the decision. Eventually, he called.

Ho was at risk with {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, up against Hartwick's {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Both players were gunning for a spade, with Hartwick holding the highest one, but Ho was ahead with king-jack high and needed to dodge some cards.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and the river was the {7-Hearts} to give Ho the double-up.

Bellerive Check-Shoves for a Bluff!

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Luc Bellerive raised to 25,000 from under the gun and Michael Malm three-bet to 60,000 from middle position. Action folded back around and Bellerive opted to call.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Bellerive thought for a moment before deciding to check. Malm paused for a moment and bet 40,000. Bellerive quickly moved all-in and Malm thought for about a minute before deciding to fold.

Bellerive raked in the pot and tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for a bluff. The entire table gasped and Malm said "Wow. I could've called there."
