Ho Doubles Before Dinner

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

On a flop of {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Maria Ho checked from the small blind to Tyler Burke who bet 6,200.

Ho called, and on the {2-Spades} turn checked again. This time Burke bet 12,000 which was met by an all-in check raise from Ho.

Burke gave it some thought, then called.

Maria Ho: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Tyler Burke: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Burke's queens were ahead of Ho's flush draw and overcard.

Another queen fell on the river, but it was the {q-Spades}, giving Ho the flush.

With the win, Ho's stack climbs to its peak for the day, while Burke's stack still remains at a healthy 71,000.
