Remy Bhend moved all in for 46,000 from under the gun and received calls from Jason Daly in the hijack and Maria Ho in the big blind.
Both Daly and Ho checked the A?J?6? flop leading to the 9? turn. Ho bet 50,000 and Daly folded leaving Bhend at risk against Ho.
Remy Bhend: K?6?4?2? 
Maria Ho: A?10?9?7?
Ho was ahead with aces up but Bhend was still live with several outs for a low or a flush. The Q? river was a complete brick and Bhend made his exit from the tournament area while Ho claimed the last of his chips.

The board ran out A?5?8?7?5? giving Bennet the nut-low and a pair of aces to scoop the pot and send Fuchs to the rail.

Chris Moneymaker is giving it another try, opening a poker room in Kentucky, this time in Louisville.
Moneymaker Social Louisville opened Saturday, becoming the second operating brick-and-mortar card room in the state. The other one, a slightly bigger room, is located just down the street, about 15-20 minutes from the University of Louisville campus.
Opening night "went well," poker room manager Christine Russell told PokerNews. As with any new business, there "were some kinks to work out." But as Russell said, players were impressed with the initial experience.

Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
For the sixth episode, Connor spoke with longtime poker pro and coach Faraz Jaka, who was fresh off a runner-up finish in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship. Jaka talked about running up a six-figure bankroll in college, going broke and moving down stakes, battling back from a debilitating back injury to win his first bracelet in 2023 and running deep in this year's $25,000 Heads-Up Championship.
Jaka also talked about his site Jaka Coaching, discussed what makes a good poker coach and offered advice for players looking to grind the WSOP this summer.
This interview took place at the 2024 WSOP in Las Vegas and was filmed inside Horseshoe Las Vegas.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Faraz Jaka by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

Maria Ho limped in from under the gun, Kyle Fleischmann limped behind from the small blind and Rafael Nogueira made a pot-sized raise from the big blind. Ho re-shoved, Fleischmann got out of the way and Nogueira, who had started the hand with 121,000, made the call to put himself at risk.
Rafael Nogueira: A?8?8?2?
Maria Ho: A?7?5?2?
The board ran out Q?Q?10?7?A?. Both players had aces up but Nogueira's eight-kicker played and he scooped the pot.
