Nogueira Doubles Through Ho
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Maria Ho limped in from under the gun, Kyle Fleischmann limped behind from the small blind and Rafael Nogueira made a pot-sized raise from the big blind. Ho re-shoved, Fleischmann got out of the way and Nogueira, who had started the hand with 121,000, made the call to put himself at risk.
Rafael Nogueira: A♦8♦8♠2♦
Maria Ho: A♥7♣5♣2♣
The board ran out Q♣Q♥10♠7♠A♠. Both players had aces up but Nogueira's eight-kicker played and he scooped the pot.
