Takata Bada Bink, Ho Dodges Danger

Claudio Elizalde

Level 15 : Limits 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Maria Ho folded when facing the three bet of Moshe Gavrieli and Kenneth Takata made the call. A short-stacked Moshe Gavrieli was left with a single yellow chip worth 1,000 as they went heads up to the flop.

The dealer fanned out the A?3?A? and Gavrieli put his last chip in the middle, Takata quickly matched it.

Moshe Gavrieli: K?K?
Kenneth Takata: A?Q?

Gavrieli groaned and gave the felt a knock as he saw Takata's flopped trips. The 8? and 6? didn't help him any and he wished his opponents good luck before leaving the tournament area.

Maria Ho tactfully waited for Gavrieli to leave the tournament area before mentioning she had folded an ace and she was glad she hadn't seen a flop, due to her diligent fold.

Patrick Leonard was seen leaving the tournament area, as it appears he has been eliminated from the tournament.
