Maria Ho Busts in Huge Three-Way Pot

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

The pot was built quickly as Alex Greenblatt opened to 1,800 and AJ Nimer three-bet from his direct left to 4,700. Gary Widener called and Maria Ho shoved all in for 25,500. Greenblatt folded and Nimer went all in for a little more, 29,850.

Widener, who had both covered, asked for a count and then called with {8-}{8-}. Ho had {q-}{q-} and Nimer had {a-}{k-}.

When the flop came {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts} Nimer took the lead and didn't look back. The turn, {3-Spades}, and the river, {5-Diamonds}, completed the board and sent Ho to the rail, while Nimer earned what was essentially a triple up.
