Holmes Chips Up More
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Arriving on a turn of 4?J?5?4?, Rory Ryan bet 6,500 from the big blind into a pot of 31,000. John Holmes was his opponent, in middle position, and he shook his head a few times before putting in the call.
The 2? river then completed the board, and Ryan fired another bet, of 12,000 chips this time. Holmes tanked for another minute or so before tossing in a calling chip.
Ryan showed K?5? for two pair, fives and fours, but Holmes had that beat with his 9?9? for a higher two pair. He scooped up another pot, ending up with a stack worth over three starting stacks.
