Ho: 
LeFort: 
With LeFort in the lead for his tournament life, the 
flop gave him a further two outs to sweat as the dealer dropped the 
on the turn to know give him a further three outs to fade with a second four counterfeiting his pair.
Fortunately for LeFort, the would land on the river to ensure he doubled to 2,530,000 as Ho moves to 1,880,000 in chips.

flop as it gave him additional outs to a straight.

It isn't surprising that the final four players have their fair share of railbirds, and although they are being fairly quiet, it is Maria Ho's squad consisting of Tiffany Michelle, Christina Lindley, Anita Smith and Ashton Griffin that are making their presence known.
Maria Ho just dragged a pot and they let out a chant of, "That's a Ho-lotta chips there!"
They also have some signs that read "Ho Lotta Chips", "The Ho Show" and "Take It Ho"
The flavor of the final table so far has been the all-in shove, however Allen Bari opted to open with a min-raise to 200,000 from under the gun.
Sean LeFort must not have believed Bari as he moved all in from the small blind to force Bari to kick his cards to the muck.

Ho: 
Although Bari was caught making a button-move, he was only a slight underdog until the flop fell 
. Now needing to snag a runner-runner straight to eliminate Ho, the
