Sun Burns Ho
Play had not long resumed after the dinner break before we witnessed a big hand between Maria Ho and Sheng Sun. Pre-flop it was Ho who was the initial aggressor, opening the action to 2,000 from under-the-gun.
Sitting UTG+1 Sun reached for chips and splashed a sizable re-raise of 7,200 into the middle of the table and Ho asked him how much more he was playing – 39,700 – before making the call.
Ho checked the 
flop over to Sun, who bet out 10,000 and after 15-seconds of deliberation she made the call to bring both players to the 
turn, with the action going check, check.
The 
river saw Ho check for a third time and Sun promptly shipped his remaining 29,700 into the middle of the table. Ho thought it over for nearly the full 30-seconds before making the call, but pitched her cards into the muck when the Chinese player turned over 
. Sun climbed to 85,000 while Ho dropped down to 21,000.
