Good as Gold

Maria Ho
Maria Ho

Over in the gold section Maria Ho has been battling it out trying to add to her stack. On one hand we saw her get check-raised after she bet out 400 on a {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board. After a few moments she threw it away. A couple of hands later she called a bet by her opponent on the river and was shown an eight high flush that she couldn't trump.

Finally we saw her check-call a bet of 600 after the board read {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. A river {q-Spades} brought another check from Ho, and a bet of 2,200 from her opponent. After some more contemplation Ho threw it away again. Despite this small spiral downward Ho still sits with right around 20,000.

Lars Bonding is also here in the section and we caught up to him as he was raising it up to 500 preflop. The table folded around to the big blind who made the call.

The dealer released a {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop and both players checked. The {3-Hearts} on the river seemingly changed nothing and both players checked for the second time.

The {10-Spades} on the river caused the big blind to bet, and Bonding quickly made the call. The big blind flipped over {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, while Bonding showed {A-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a better ace high.
