HomeAmidst heavy hitters, David Wai Ho found himself a spot to double up. Action began with chip leader Hwang Seong Il raising from utg to 8400, called by Le Ngoc Khanh, the button player, and Ho. When the flop landed 7♥ 2♥ 4♠, two checks before a bet of 11k was sent out by Le Ngoc. Button folded, Ho shoved his 48.4k stack, Hwang called, Le Ngoc folded.
Ho Q♦ Q♥
Hwang A♥ 10♥
The turn 8♠ and river 2♣ didn’t improve the leader. Ho doubled up to around 160k.
