Ho Triples Up, Vallone Wins Side Pot

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Tam Ho open-shoved for 500,000 in middle position, and Aurelio Vallone on the button responded with his own all-in for 2,375,000. Mohammad Abu-Hadbah in the big blind asked for a count, mumbled something about his hand being a call, then called.

Tam Ho: 87 All in
Aurelio Vallone: A5 All in
Mohammad Abu-Hadbah: KQ

Unable to suppress their excitement, both Ho and Vallone got on their feet to watch the dealer flop J83. Ho moved into the lead with a pair of eights, but refrained from celebrating.

Vallone took away his lead when the A came on the turn. This also gave Abu-Hadbah more outs to improve to eliminate both his opponents.

Ho finally cheered when the 7 fell on the river, giving him two pair and securing his triple-up. Vallone won the side pot with his pair of aces, all at the expense of Abu-Hadbah, who had a calling hand.
