The flavor of the final table so far has been the all-in shove, however Allen Bari opted to open with a min-raise to 200,000 from under the gun.
Sean LeFort must not have believed Bari as he moved all in from the small blind to force Bari to kick his cards to the muck.
It isn't surprising that the final four players have their fair share of railbirds, and although they are being fairly quiet, it is Maria Ho's squad consisting of Tiffany Michelle, Christina Lindley, Anita Smith and Ashton Griffin that are making their presence known.
Maria Ho just dragged a pot and they let out a chant of, "That's a Ho-lotta chips there!"
They also have some signs that read "Ho Lotta Chips", "The Ho Show" and "Take It Ho"

Ho:

One of those outs would snag life on the turn when the dealer dropped the 
giving Bari a straight.

would spike on the river to give Ho the better straight and send her soaring up to 3,100,000 as Bari slips to below 7,000,000 in chips.
