Ho Scores a Double
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A player in early position limped before Kyle Ho raised to 4,500 in the cutoff. The action quickly folded back to the limper and he made the call.
When the 10♣9♥3♥ flop hit the felt, the early position player checked to Ho as he continued for 7,500. His opponent went into the tank, and asked to see Ho's stack. "About 25,000 behind," Ho responded. His opponent called.
The K♦ hit the turn and the early position player took the lead, firing 30,000 into the middle. Ho wasted no time calling off his 24,400 and both players' cards hit their backs.
Kyle Ho: A♥K♥K♠5♥
Early Position: A♦Q♥5♦2♥
Ho turned top set to go along with his nut-flush draw and the 4♣ landed on the river before the dealer pushed the pot to Ho.
