Ho's Turn Lead Takes Down the Pot

Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a flop of 5?4?5?, Maria Ho had checked out of the big blind and Igor Tregoubov bet 1,200. A player in the cutoff folded before Ho put in the call.
The turn came the 8?. Ho thought briefly before leading out for roughly 3,500. Tregoubov was visibly annoyed by this turn and Ho's bet. Ultimately he settled on a fold.
Ho assured Tregoubov that she "had it" as she slid her cards face down to the dealer.
