The board reads when Maria Ho checks to her heads-up opponent, Paul Vlahos, who bets 6,000 into the pot of 20,000. 

The action is now back to Ho, who looks at Vlahos intently, deciphering what she should do next. 

After a few seconds, she then decides to put in the check-raise to 15,000 and Vlahos promptly folds to award her the pot. 

Maria Ho – 144,000 (120 bb)
Paul Vlahos – 27,000 (22 bb)
