Biton Eliminates Ho

Ryan Lashmar

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player from early position opened to 1,200 and received calls from a player in the button, Maria Ho in the small blind and Almog Biton in the big blind.

The flop came J♥3♦9♥. Ho and Biton checked, and the early position player fired a continuation bet of 2,800. The button called before Ho moved all in for 15,000. Biton called, sending the early position player deep into the tank.

After about two minutes, the early position player and the button got out of the way, leaving Ho all-in and at risk against Biton.

Maria Ho: A♥5♥
Almog Biton: J♣9♦

Ho was behind with her nut flush draw against Biton's two pair. The K♠ turn and 3♣ river offered no improvement, ending Ho's main event run while Biton scooped in a nice pot.
