Big Pot For Ho
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
In a hand that lasted more than 10 minutes, Igor Pihela Jr opened to 800 from under the gun, and was called by Gab Yong Kim in middle position. In the cutoff, Maria Ho chose to three-bet to 2,800. But Markkos Ladev on the button wasn't done yet, and he four-bet to 5,600. Pihela and Kim folded at this point, while Ho made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♣4♠J♥, Ho checked and saw Ladev bet 2,500. She called, then check-called again when Ladev fired a second barrel of 4,500 on the turn A♥.
The 4♥ landed on the river, and Ho checked a third time. But after Ladev bet 6,000, she raised to 13,000. Ladev took a few seconds to think about it, but eventually folded.
