Chad Finds a HolloWAY
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 12: Blinds 1.5k/3k/3k
Chad Holloway opened from early position to 5,500 and Ryan Seekley in the cutoff jammed for 65,000. The action folded back to Holloway who made the call to put himself at risk and the cards were on their backs.
Chad Holloway: 8?8?
Ryan Seekely: A?K?
Holloway started off in the lead with his pocket pair, but the flop of 7?5?K? quickly changed that as Seekley hit his king. Holloway improved on the turn 9? to a gutshot straight draw, but he did not need it as he hit the 8? on the river to make a set of eights to scoop the pot for a double as the table erupted.
Seekley was then left with only 10,000 but managed to double up the very next hand to bring him back to 27,000.
