Ho's Kings Hold
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Asi Moshe opened to 20,000 in late position and got a three-bet from Nathaniel Silver in the hijack to 50,000. Baoqiang Ho in big blind four-bet to 155,000 pushing Moshe out of the pot. Silver five-bet all-in for around 500,000 and Ho snap-called putting Silver's tournament life on the line.
Nathaniel Silver: A♦K♥ 
Baoqiang Ho: K♠K♣
The dealer fanned out 2♣7♦7♥ maintaining Ho's lead. Silver still had hope to continue his run with an ace on the board. The turn 9♠ didn't change anything and the river J♣ made Silver's elimination a certainty. After verifying that he was covered, Silver left the table to head to the payout counter as Ho happily scooped the pot.
