Ho is Stoic, Lapka in the Blender
Level 13
: Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
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.
