Ho with the Better of Two Straights
On a flop of 
, Maria Ho bet from under the gun only to face a raise from her opponent in early position. Ho made the call and then checked the 
turn. Her opponent took the opportunity to fire out a bet, which Ho check-called.
When the 
peeled off on the river, Ho once again checked. The early-position player bet, but this time Ho woke up with a check raise, which her opponent called.
Ho revealed 
for the nut straight, which was ahead of her opponent's 
lower straight.
