Tournament staff has colored up and raced off the grey t100 chips on the final four tables.
After extensive action preflop, we found four players looking down at a flop of 
.
Maria Ho moved all in for her final 800 and was called by Jeff Shulman and Chad Brown. John Virtue completed the bet to 2,500 and Shulman and Brown both called.
The turn was the 
and Shulman checked to Brown who bet out. Virtue folded and Shulamn followed suit. Brown was able to take down the small side pot and tabled 
.
Ho showed 
for the same hand as Brown and when the 
rivered the two chopped the main pot. This leaves Ho sitting with about 18,000 in chips.

Matthew Woodward opened with a raise before the flop. It folded to Maria Ho's small blind and she three-bet the action. Woodward four-bet and Ho five-bet all in. The hands were turned over to see Ho in a dominating position:
Ho:

The board fell 
and Ho's kings were able to score her a crucial double up as we near the money bubble.

When we reached Table 357, there was about 40,000 in the middle, and the board read 
. Kenny Hsiung checked, Maria Ho bet, and Douglas Redmann called all in for 3,200. Hsiung tank-called, and the river was the 
.
Hsiung led out, and Ho was visibly upset. She cut out a stack of purple T500 chips, then stacked them back up. She cut them out, stacked them up and shuffled them. Over and over.
Finally, she pushed her cards away, and Hsiung tabled 
for a king-high flush. Reddmann mucked his hand, and a wave of chips was sent Hsiung's way.
Moments later, at an adjacent table, Holger Lindemann bowed out as well.
