Heave Ho

Maria Ho - Eliminated
Maria Ho - Eliminated
Maria Ho will not be repeating her magical run deep into the Main Event this year. The dinner break found her short-stacked. After Thanh Huyah raised to 1,500 on the button, Ho pushed all in for a total of 3,975. Huyah made the call with {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}; he was behind Ho's {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. A king on the flop was all Huyah needed to take down the pot when Ho couldn't improve on her nines by the river.

Huyah now has about 54,000 chips.
