Ho Clipped

Current tournament chip leader Maria Ho opened from middle position to 850 and found a caller out of the big blind.

Ho called a bet of 1,600 on the flop of {J-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts} only to see her opponent lead for 2,000 when the {A-Diamonds} dropped on the turn. Ho opted to raise to 5,200 and her opponent made the call before both players checked the {4-Spades} on the river.

Being shown {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} by her opponent, Ho mucked her hand as she slipped to 32,000 - but still remains the tournament chip leader.
