From the button Ho limp-called Wakeman’s raise to 300,000. On the K K J flop Wakeman continued with a bet of 160,000.

Ho called and the turn came the 3 .

Wakeman did not slow down and continued his aggression with a bet of 650,000. Once again the Singaporean made the call.

The river came another 3 and Wakeman moved all-in for 1,050,000 chips.

Ho, who around 1,700,000 in his stack on the river thought about his decision for a little bit. But in the end decided that his hand is too strong to fold so he threw in the calling chips and the players tabled their cards.

Matthew Wakeman: K Q

Bao Qiang Ho: A 3

What an unfortunate runout for Ho. Though, he is still in contention for the title. One double-up and he is right back in it.
