Poseidon Ho

Poseidon Ho suffered a heavy blow against Seunghyun Nam after just 30 minutes of action in this High Roller Championship.

Nam opened under the gun for 11,000, and Ho responded with a 26,000 raise. Nam called.

The dealer flopped 3 7 8 , and both players checked, each having flopped a set.

On the 3 turn, Nam check-called Ho’s 16,000.

The T hit the river. Not wanting to show any strength, Nam checked again. Ho pushed 30,000 into the pot, and Nam announced all-in. Ho called, and the players revealed their hands:

Poseidon Ho: 7 7

Seunghyun Nam: 8 8

With a higher set, Nam scooped the entire pot, leaving Ho with only 400 chips in front of him. He played and won the next two hands by shoving his remaining stack, allowing him to recover slightly, but the road ahead remains tough.
