Nathan Gamble opened in early position and Mike Holtz three-bet to 260,000 in the small blind. Gamble then four-bet jammed for 630,000 and quickly stopped the dealer who was about to deal a flop. Holtz mulled it over and called with a bigger stack.
Nathan Gamble: A?A?6?2?
Mike Holtz: A?K?4?4?
Gamble told Holtz that his hand was a "snap-fold" and Gamble's aces held up as the board ran out K?9?6?7?10? to earn him a big double through the chip leader.
"I was just talking about this on break," Holtz said about the hand.

Scott Seiver won his fifth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and in doing so may have secured his place in the Poker Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible next year.
Seiver, a longtime pro from New York who poker fans may remember from his appearance on the Big Game in the early 2010s, took down Event #10: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship (8-Handed) for $426,744 after an intense and grueling final table battle that eventually saw him denying Jonathan Cohen a second bracelet.
Seiver turns 40 next April and thus will be eligible for the Poker Hall of Fame, a club home to other five-plus bracelet winners like Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Erik Seidel and Phil Hellmuth.
Not only is the Hall of Fame already on Seiver's mind, it's the 39-year-old's primary motivator.
Tyler Brown opened to 60,000 in the hijack and Jacob Perry three-bet to 210,000 on the button. Brian Ng then four-bet to 640,000 in the small blind before Brown five-bet jammed to bring calls from both opponents.
Tyler Brown: A?Q?Q?4?
Jacob Perry: A?J?5?2?
Brian Ng: A?Q?6?2?
The board ran out 4?K?3?7?7? and Brown's queens miraculously stayed ahead to earn him half the pot as his opponents split the low.
"I liked the flop. I didn't like the rest of it!" Perry said about his busted wrap.
