McNeil Spikes the Turn to Double Through Ho
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With two players seeing a flop of A♠5♦9♥ and about 20,000 in the middle, Calen McNeil found himself all in for about 25,000 and was up against Maria Ho who had a covering stack.
Calen McNeil: 7♦5♥3♠2♦
Maria Ho: A♥J♦10♥3♦
Ho was ahead with top pair until the 4♣ turn gave McNeil both the nut-low and a wheel straight leaving Ho drawing virtually dead. After the K♥ river was dealt McNeil collected a full double up at Ho's expense.
