Ho Bluffs Some Off Early
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Mark Teltscher raised from the cutoff before Hai-Chi Ho made it 6,800 to go from the small blind. Only Teltscher called and the two went off to a flop.
The 9?6?9? flop checked through before Ho bet out 7,000 on the 7? turn. Teltscher called and the 5? river completed the board.
Ho checked again and Teltscher opted to bet 12,000 chips. Ho raised it up to 36,000 and Teltscher swiftly called.
Ho could only show ace-high with his A?K?, while Teltscher was sitting pretty on the flush with A?Q?. Ho lost some of his big stack early on while Teltscher chipped up nicely.
