Ho Eliminates Tamayo

We arrived at Maria Ho's table in the midst of a flurry of raises between her and Jonathan Tamayo.

By this point, Ho had put in a re-raise to what looked to be 1,525 on the button and action was back on Tamayo in the cutoff. He came back over the top of Ho and made it 3,300 before Ho re-raised to 7,600. Tamayo responded by moving all in for roughly 14,000, Ho callled with the covering stack, and the hands were revealed.

Showdown
Tamayo: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Ho: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, paring Ho's ace on the flop to send Tamayo to the rail.
