Ho Picks Off Wu to Take Lead
We caught the tail end of a big pot between Yu Fai Wu and Ka Meng Ho that saw the latter climb to the top of the chip counts.
With over 10,000 in bets, blinds, and antes in the pot, the community cards were spread and Wu had just checked the action over to Ho, who bet close to half-pot.
Wu thought it over and slid in the call and the river completed the hand, but not the betting. Wu checked it over to Ho once more and the Macanese player decided the right amount to bet was 6,500.
Now Wu chose to spring into action and check-raised to 13,000 in total. Ho thought it over and tossed in the call and Wu seemed reluctant to show his hand. After some prompting from the dealer and the rest of the table, Wu finally slid his cards into the muck without showdown, leaving Ho free to rake in a tasty pot.
Ho obligingly flashed his opponent the before stacking up his new chips and edging into the chip lead with a stack of 92,500 while Wu dropped to 17,000.
