Ho Down on the Bloch
Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
Andy Bloch opened to 425 from late position and the player in the cutoff called. The button and small blind got out of the way, putting the action onto Maria Ho in the big blind.
Ho asked to see Bloch's stack before moving all in for 3,675 in total. Bloch called and the cutoff tank-folded.
"I probably only have three outs against you," said Ho before she turned over the 
. She was actually essentially flipping against the 
of Bloch.
Ho's ace-high stayed the best hand on the 
flop and on the 
turn. However, the 
river completed Bloch's straight, which earned him a double up and left Ho with around seven big blinds.
