Ho is Stoic, Lapka in the Blender
On a heads-up flop of 2♦6♦2♣, Maria Ho checked and faced a bet from Justin Lapka. Ho raised it up and Lapka made the call.
The turn brought the 5♦ and this time both players checked, revealing the 4♠ on the river. Ho now took the initiative and led out. Lapka was having a difficult time putting it all together and went as far as quietly asking, "What do you have, Maria?" which received no response.
Ho had just won a hand the last pot and even her previous adversary seemed to be trying to catch some kind of read on her. She remained still and finally Lapka showed J♦5♣ for a small pair and missed flush draw as he folded, relinquishing the pot to Ho.
