Ho Spikes River to Double Through Dodd
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Maria Ho open-jammed a stack of around 350,000 from middle position and Matt Dodd called in the big blind with a bigger stack.
Maria Ho: A♣9♣ 
Matt Dodd: K♦J♥
The flop of 8♦9♠K♥ gave Dodd the lead with a pair of kings, and the 5♣ turn didn't change anything. Ho needed an ace or nine on the river and she got it with the 9♦ as the poker commentator and Game of Gold champion doubled up.
