Ho Busts in Roller Coaster Runout

Livello 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Maria Ho open jammed the button for her last 260,000 finding a caller in David Wells in the big blind.

Maria Ho: K♣J♥
David Wells: A♠Q♦

The flop came 2♥K♦3♣ as Ho pulled ahead in the showdown.

The turned J♣ only served to improve the absolute hand strength of Ho's holding but did however give Wells outs to a gutshot straight.

The river landed the 10♠ as the table gasped. Wells rivered Broadway and Ho was sent to the rail.
