There was a raise in middle position to 12,000. Maria Ho called from the small blind and they went to the flop heads-up
Ho check-called a bet of 14,000 on the 10♦K♥3♠ flop.
The turn came the Q♥ and Ho check-called another bet of 33,000 from her opponent.
Ho checked to her opponent on the seemingly blank 4♣ river, and he bet enough to put Ho all-in. The bet amounted to roughly 120,000. Ho made the call for her remaining chips and the cards were revealed.
The middle position player flipped over Kx10x for a flopped two pair. But this was second best to Ho's K♠Q♣ for top two pair. Ho dragged in the pot just before the second break

With around 110,000 in the pot on a board of 4♣A♣10♦10♥, Kristen Foxen had checked from middle position to the player on the button who chose to check back.
Foxen led out for 65,000 on the 5♣ river. Her opponent thought briefly before putting in the call.
Foxed confidently turned over A♠Q♦ for top pair. But she was second best to a flush as her opponent flipped up Q♣8♣ to win the pot
