On fifth street, both players checked and then Ho's opponent picked up a pair of fours on sixth. He checked and Ho bet. The player called. On seventh street, Ho's opponent bet and she called.

All Ho could do was muck her hand after her opponent tabled the {7-Clubs} {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds} for a straight to the eight and an eight-seven low. He scooped the pot and Ho was left with 2,200 in chips.
