Nice Pot For Ho and a Missed Opportunity For Lisandro

With two more players to go before we have thirty-six very happy punters, we have a straight for Maria Ho and a missed opportunity for Jeff Lisandro.

Lisandro raised on the button, Yosuke Sekiya made the three-bet from the small blind, the big blind called as did Lisandro. The flop was {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts}, Sekiya bet, the big blind folded and Lisandro just called. The turn {10-Clubs} went the same way before Lisandro raised the {5-Hearts} river. As expected Sekiya made the call and the two players turned their cards over.

Lisandro{A-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Sekiya{A-Spades} {8-Hearts}

So Lisandro had flopped the nuts before allowing Sekiya to catch up for a share of the spoils, "If I had raised that flop he couldn't have called," Lisandro told himself.

Then Maria Ho pulled a nice chunk from the stack of Jacob Petersen. Petersen raised on the button and Ho called. The flair shared a flop of {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} and Petersen called a check-raise from Ho. The board then ran out {3-Clubs} and {8-Diamonds} and Petersen called two streets of value from Ho. She confidently flipped {5-Diamonds} {4-Spades} on their backs and Petersen folded.
