Rocky Road for Ho
Maria Ho opened to 250 from early position and a player near the button shoved for 1,850. Action folded back to Ho who though for a moment before tossing in the call.
Showdown
Ho: 
Opponent: 
The 
flop was no good for Ho and she couldn't find an ace or a jack on either the turn or the river doubling her opponent up. Ho has had an up and down level and has slipped back below starting stack with 2,550 chips.
A lil' more chips for lilholdem
Chad "lilholdem954" Batista is mixing it up at his table. In one hand we just caught, he went all in for 2,525 when his opponent bet 500 into a flop reading 
.
Batista's opponent folded 
face up. Batista in turn flipped up the 
.
Maria Ho Finds Time To Double
As we mentioned earlier, Maria Ho has been playing a lot of pots lately. Her aggressive table image may have just paid off for her.
Ho was in the big blind when she called a raise from the player on the button. The flop came 
. Ho checked, and then called a bet of 300 from her opponent.
The turn was the 
. This time Ho took the opportunity to lead off with a bet of 1,500, leaving only about 400 behind. Her opponent raised, and Ho called, putting herself all in.
Ho: 
Opponent: 
The river came down 
and Ho's two pair held. She's now up to about 4,400.
Krazy Kabrhel
It's safe to say that Martin Kabrhel is playing a little aggressive today.
After a player in the cutoff raised to 300 (with just 650 behind) Kabrhel moved all in for 6,200 (effectively 3,000). The action folded back to the player in the cutoff who called and the hands were tabled:
Showdown
Kabrhel: 
Cutoff:
The board ran 
and Kabrhel doubled his opponent dropping him to 5,100 chips.
The very next hand Kabrhel shoved over another late-position raiser. He wasn't called though, and moved back up to 5,600 chips.
"It Was Fun While It Lasted"
Phil Ivey only lasted one hand at our mega table of death.
The aforementioned older woman, Theresa Gex, opened from under the gun and Ivey just grabbed his whole stack and stuck it in the middle. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson flatted and the action folded back to the kind woman who snapped it off.
Ivey tabled and Ferguson let out a laugh when he opened 
.
"You got me Phil," he joked.
Gex got them all though when she triumphantly turned over . The rail around the table was four people deep and they all exploded into uncontrollable laughter.
The board ran 
and Mr. Ivey hit the rail.
"Well," Ivey said with a huge grin. "It was fun while it lasted."
Ivey's out, Ferguson is down to 2,000 and the sweet old woman has tripled to 9,000.
The Deadliest Table of Death
If you've ever wanted a reason not to late register, look no further than Table 109. The table is composed of people who just signed up. It's no exaggeration when we say that it's by far the most stacked starting table we've seen in any $1,000 event.
Seat 2:Tommy Vedes
Seat 3: Dan Heimiller
Seat 5: Tom Dwan
Seat 6: Phil Ivey
Seat 8: Andy Black
Seat 9. Chris Ferguson
Squeezed in between Dwan and Ivey is an older woman with grey hair, Theresa Gex. Not the most comfortable place to be, but we'll see if she can prove doubters wrong.
Note: In the first hand we caught at the table, Chris Ferguson busted Dan Heimiller.
