Maria Ho

We caught up with a hand on Blue #23 between Maria Ho and David Spencer on the turn. Ho had bet 2,500 and Spencer called, with the board showing {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

. The river was the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

, and both players quickly checked. Ho turned over {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

. Spencer nodded, said, "Pair of eights," and mucked.

Ho is up to 26,000. Spencer has about 22,000.

Fashion note: Ho is wearing a black T-shirt which says on the back, "Look for Maria's hoes." We kept our eyes out for Maria's "hoes" and spotted three of them on the rail by Blue #25. They sported off-shoulder T-shirts which read on the front, "I [heart] Maria Ho".
