[user162117]

Level 16

With a huge chip deficit and the limits increasing ever higher, Maria Ho was to be allin on any hand she decided to play. It just so happened to be an Omaha Hi/Lo hand that Ho would find her tournament life on the line, the split pot game allowing Ho to atleast try and take half the pot and stay alive.

Ho: {q-Spades} {5-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {j-Clubs}
Bloch: {a-Spades} {k-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}

The board would run out {10-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Spades} {a-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} , with no low pot in sight and the ace good for Bloch it would be home for Ho who was the chip leader for much of the first day.
