Ho Folds To Engel's River Raise

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Maria Ho and Ari Engel were on the river with the board reading {7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

Ho led out 3,500 from the small blind, but Engel had the final word.

Engel placed in four times as much, bumping the showdown price to 14,000.

Ho gave it some thought but eventually ended up folding, leaving herself with just over a starting stack.

Engel, who had a rough start to the tournament, is now sitting on 45,000.
