Quibell Can't Hold With Aces

Crystal Quibell had been riding a shortish stack for most of the second half of the day, and she was looking to find a double up to end the day, but she was unable to dodge a majority of the deck. Quibell riased to 3,800 in early position, and Shu Ho was the only caller. The flop came down {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and Quibell continued with a bet of 5,500. As soon as she put her bet in, Ho announced all in, and Quibell went into the tank. After about 30 seconds, she said "I can't fold this" and called. The cards were flipped, and it was a virtual race.

Quibell: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Ho: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Ho had flopped a monster open ended straight flush draw, and he could hit half the deck to win the hand. The turn came the {9-Spades}, somehow giving Ho more outs. The river brought the {2-Clubs}, completing Ho's flush and sending Quibell to the rail. Ho won the pot, upping his stack to 78,000.
