While on a quick cruise through the Amazon Room during Day 1D of the 2008 WSOP Main Event, we were lucky enough to witness Team Bodog poker players Heather Wells and Maria Ho push their tables around a bit.

Our first stop was Wells table where we picked up after the gentleman two seats to her left had reraised her almost all-in. Wells pushed and her opponent called and flipped over pocket Queens to her A-K of diamonds, the classic "two over-cards vs. pocket pair" race situation. When the flop produced an ace, all Wells had to do was dodge a Queen on the flop and turn, which she did and double up for a very healthy stack as we approach the dinner break.

Next up was Ho, just a few tables away. We arrived in time to see her move all-in over the top of editor of CardPlayer magazine Jeff Shulman's raise, sending him into the tank for a fair amount of time. He stared her down for a while while ESPN filmed the whole thing, including the "look for Maria's hoes" on the back of her shirt, and eventually folded. We didn't get to see Maria's cards, but we'll just assume that she had him dominated. She moves up to about 26,000 in chips.
