Nível 40 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Action folded to Maria Ho in the small blind who opted to limp. Drew Scott peeled back his cards before deciding to put in a raise to 7,500,000. Ho checked her cards once more before announcing all in and seeing a snap-call from Scott to set up a huge heads up runout.

Drew Scott: A♠Q♥
Maria Ho: K♥J♥

The flop came 5♣9♥5♠, keeping Scott well ahead of Ho.

The 2♥ turn card provided a lot of additional outs for Ho and when the river brought the K♦, Ho secured a massive knock out by sending Scott to the rail in fifth place for $127,000.

Maria Ho shoved the small blind and Drew Scott called all in for 10,900,000 in the big blind.

Drew Scott: Q♣4♣
Maria Ho: A♠Q♠

Scott needed a lot of help as the 10♣K♣K♦ flop gave him additional outs with a flush draw. The A♣ turn completed that draw, and the 10♦ river confirmed the result to give him the double.

Maria Ho raised to 3,000,000 from the hijack only to see Thomas Santerne essentially commit himself with a three-bet to 10,000,000.

Action folded back to Ho who didn't waste much time in jamming to get the rest of Santerne's stack in. Santerne made the quick call to officially put himself at risk.

Thomas Santerne: A♣K♠
Maria Ho: 10♦10♣

The board ran out 4♣7♦6♦2♣5♠, securing the pot for Ho and sending Santerne to the rail in sixth place for $101,000.

Nível 39 : 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Maria Ho raised to 3,000,000 with A♥8♦ from under the gun and found one caller in Jin Hoon Lee with 9♣8♣ from the big blind to bring out the 5♠6♥6♦ flop.

Lee checked over to Ho who continued with a bet of 1,800,000. Lee called with the gut-shot to see the turn bring the 7♥.

Lee, having made his nut straight, decided to check again. Ho paused briefly before opting to check it back and watch as the A♦ fell on the river.

Lee thought for a moment before putting out a bet of 7,000,000. Ho, seemingly onto the fact that she may be behind, entered a short tank.

Eventually, she would decide to put in the call only to see the bad news as she sent a big pot in Lee's direction.

Drew Scott raised to 2,700,000 in the hijack, Jin Hoon Lee shoved for 10,800,000 in the small blind, and Scott called.

Jin Hoon Lee: A♠A♣
Drew Scott: K♥Q♦

The 6♠7♦A♦ flop put Lee way in front, and although the 10♠ turn provided a small sweat, the K♦ river changed nothing and Lee secured the double with his set of aces.
