Ho Gets the Best of Varnell
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action folded to Craig Varnell on the button who raised to 45,000. The small blind folded to Maria Ho in the big blind who put in the call to take both players to the K?10?6? flop.
Ho checked, and Varnell tossed in a bet worth 70,000. Ho thought for a moment, then made the call, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the 9?.
Ho checked, and Varnell checked behind before watching as the 3? fell on the river.
Ho thought for a moment about her action and eventually decided to put out a bet of 200,000. Varnell thought briefly before cutting out enough chips to make the call and moving them into the pot.
Ho quickly tabled the A?7? for the nut flush, beating the K?J? of Varnell to take down a big pot and move over a million in chips.
