Event 5: Kevin Ho Doubles Through Hiep Doan

$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 32: 75,000/150,000 with a 25,000 ante
Players Remaining: 7 of 1,973

Kevin Ho had seen his stack whittled down to just 915,000 chips when he took the opportunity to get them all in under the gun. Hiep Doan called on the button, the blinds folded, and Ho was heads-up, at risk, and dominated.

Ho: Qh9h
Doan: KsQc

There was a nine in the window, and the 9c5c2s flop gave Ho a big lead with two to come. The turn was the 9s to improve him to trips, locking up the pot one card early. Doan was already paying off the debt as the meaningless 5h hit the river, and Ho doubled up with nines full.

Kevin Ho – 2,230,000 (15 bb)
Hiep Doan – 3,125,000 (21 bb)
