Lunkin KOs Ho

Maria Ho
Maria Ho

Vitaly Lunkin raised from late position, and Maria Ho reraised all in for 6,700 from the button. Lunkin called, and the cards were on their backs with Ho's tournament life in jeopardy:

Lunkin: {J-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Ho: {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}

The race was on, and Ho jumped out to an early lead on the safe flop of {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {10-Clubs}. The {Ts] on the turn didn't change anything, but the {Q-Spades} river did. That gave Lunkin the winning queens up, sending Maria Ho off toward the exit.
