Kartik Ved raised to 6,500,000 in middle position, Maria Ho reraised the cutoff, and Ved called all in for 10,200,000.

Kartik Ved: K?Q?
Maria Ho: A?9?

Ved needed to improve as the J?9?7? flop kept him behind, before the K? hit the felt on the turn to vault him in front. Ved just needed to fade an ace or nine, but the 9? spiked the river to give Ho trips, and Ved was eliminated in seventh place for $80,000.

Ho Takes From Kitai in Blind Versus Blind Confrontation

Chris Land

Level 37 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Action folded to Maria Ho in the small blind who raised to 3,000,000 with the A?J?. Davidi Kitai looked down at A?8? in the big blind and decided to make the call to see the flop come 2?A?3?.

Ho paused briefly before reaching for chips and continuing with a bet of 2,200,000. Kitai made the call to see the turn bring the Q?.

Ho paused again before deciding to bet out again in the amount of 8,500,000. Kitai entered the tank for over a full three minutes until a clock was eventually called.

The tournament direct counted down Kitai's hand as he continued to woek through the spot, but the countdown expired and killed his hand before he made a decision and the pot was pushed in Ho's direction.

While the main focus of the WSOP Paradise series will be on chasing gold bracelets, there are plenty of activities and sights worth checking out in the Bahamas after busting out of a tournament.

All the poker action will take place at the Atlantis Paradise Island resort, with plenty of viable options to drink and dine. The hotel has plenty of fine dining and casual dining options, along with a buffet. Hotel guests can even purchase an all-inclusive package for what is mostly unlimited drinks and grub throughout their stay.

Atlantis has a little something for everyone when it comes to food. There's a sushi bar, sports bar, ice cream shop, buffet, cafe, steakhouse, deli, snack bar, Starbucks, seafood restaurant, burger joint, and multiple other fine dining establishments. The numerous food choices make it convenient on dinner breaks during tournaments or on non-poker days.
