High card win for Ho against Kiem


Andy Quan Ho has been quite active at his table, winning several small pots during the first two levels. This time he took a bit more when he entered a pot with two other players, one of whom was Peter Janghwan Kiem. With the pot now at 1725, the players watched the board land 8 4 2. Ho checked, Kiem bet 825, one player folded, ad Ho called. At the turn of 9, both Ho and Kiem opted to check. But on the river of 2, Ho led out for 1400 sending Kiem tanking. Kiem eventually paid to see Ho’s cards, and mucked when he saw Ho’s A J. High card was good enough.
