Kings Hold for Ho

Level 14

Stud

Maria Ho: (X)(X) / {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs} / (X)
David Benyamine: (X)(X) / {3-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Spades} / (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) / {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

We picked up the action on fourth, when David Benyamine bet, one player folded, and Maria Ho called. Benyamine bet again on fifth, and Ho tanked a bit before calling. She tanked some more before calling a sixth-street bet. It went check-check after neither player's down card improved their hands. Ho tabled {k-}{q-} for the split kings that she'd held from the start. Benyamine showed {6-}{6-} for unimproved buried sixes, and Ho took the pot to stay in the running with 41,000. Benyamine was left with 88,000.
