Richard Holmes Eliminated in 11th Place (AU$2,363)

[user57954]

Alex Keating raised it up to 5,500 from the button and Chris Chronis called from the small blind. Richard Holmes then bumped it up to 15,000 from the big blind. Keating stepped aside as Holmes made the call.

When the flop arrives as {4-Diamonds}

Chronis and Holmes both got their chips into the middle. Chronis held A-9 for top pair-top kicker but was trailing the pocket queens of Holmes.

Amazingly the {A-Hearts}

spiked on the river to give the unstoppable Chris Chronis the lead in the hand! The {4-Clubs}

on the river ended the run of Holmes in 11th place as Chris Chronis continues his amazing surge late in this tournament. In a matter of 15 minutes he has gone from the short stack to chip leader in an amazing run!
