Cheong Busts Ho

No Limit Hold'em

Maria Ho moved all in from late position for 16,500 and was called by Joseph Cheong on the button. The blinds got out of the way and the hands were exposed:

Ho: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Cheong: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Ho was ahead and stayed that way when the flop came {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Unfortunately for Ho, the {8-Diamonds} turned, giving Cheong a set of eights and a commanding lead in the hand. The river blanked for Ho, coming {Q-Hearts} and the chips were pushed in Cheong's direction.

"Nice playing with you all," Ho said graciously before she walked away toward the rail.
