Holtzman Drills the River to Eliminate Yau
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Guy Holtzman raised to 6,000 from early position and action folded around to Ethan "Rampage" Yau in the small blind, who shoved for his last 14,000. The player in the big blind made it 25,000 to go and Holtzman called.
The big blind bet 6,000 on the 2?5?A? flop and Holtzman raised to 25,000. Holtzman's opponent folded and a showdown was held between Holtzman and Yau.
Ethan Yau: K?10?
Guy Holtzman: 9?8?
"You were trying to save him!" a tablemate exclaimed upon seeing the cards.
Regardless of intentions, the 5?8? runout paired Holtzman's eight on the river to eliminate Yau.
