Ho Off To A Good Start

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

The player under the gun came in for a raise preflop, and Maria Ho was the only player who came along in the big blind. The flop came out {7-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and Ho check called a bet of 125 from her opponent. The turn brought the {j-Spades}, and again, Ho check called, this time for 300. When the river came the {9-Hearts}, Ho decided it was her turn to bet, as she led out for 550. She was called, and she revealed {q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a rivered two pair. Her opponent open mucked {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and Ho scooped the pot to jump up to 4,000 early on.
