Ho Hits the Backdoor Hearts

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A completed board of {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} was spread across the felt with around 25,000 in the middle. The big blind checked to Maria Ho in middle position who announced a bet of 17,600.

It seemed to stump her opponent who went into the tank for well over three minutes. Ho sat with a stone-face the entire time until her opponent finally called. Ho turned over {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a backdoor flush and her opponent obviously couldn't beat it.
