Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Maria Ho

On a board that read {10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} Maria Ho in early position checked it over to David Farah who was in middle position. Farah put in a bet of 18,000. Ho thought for a few moments and made the call.

The river was the {a-Clubs}. Ho checked again over to Farah, who wasted little time in moving all in for 44,000 which barely covered Ho's stack.

After about a minute of assessing the hand, Ho tossed in the one chip call. Farah shook his head and turned over his busted draws with the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Ho revealed {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for the winning one pair hand to decimate Farah's stack to a measly 1,500.

Several players at the table were impressed, repeating "wow" and complimenting Ho on the call. None more so that Farah himself however as he seemed almost jovial about the call even after busting on the subsequent hand.

"Sick call man! What can you do?" he said as he walked away.
