Ho Misses Her Straight
Level 12
: Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Anson Tsang raised on the button and was called by Maria Ho in the small blind, and Matt Woodword in the big blind.
The flop came 3♥J♠K♠. When it checked to Tsang he bet, and was then raised by Ho. Woodward called, then Tsang put in the three-bet. Both Ho and Woodward called to see a turn.
On the turn was the 6♦ and both Ho and Woodward check-called the bet from Tsang.
The river brought the 5♥ and all three players checked.
Ho showed first and tabled Qx10x for a busted straight draw, and Tsang showed A♠5♠ for a rivered pair of fives. Woodward mucked his hand and was left with only 8,000 chips. Woodward was eliminated from the tournament a few hands later.
