Ho Scores a Knockout Once More

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Short stack: {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Chung Ho: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board kept the short stack in contention while the small blind bowed out against Ho after missing the flush draw.

Gross Spikes a River Double

Level 19 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Following an open raise and a shove by a player for 290,000, Matthew Gross called all-in for 265,000. The initial raiser folded the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} face up and was then greeted by the initial jammer's {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Gross tabled the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and made the top two pair on the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop but still needed another ace.

The {3-Hearts} turn was a brick but the {a-Diamonds} river came to the rescue for Gross.
