Holt Finds Help on the River and Claims Two Scalps
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
John Clements opened the action raising all in for 220,000 and Scott Kenyon, in the seat to his left, reraised all in for a total of 250,000. Action folded around to Edward Holt, in the small blind, who announced "all in" for a total of 850,000, putting both players at risk.
John Clements: J♥J♦
Scott Kenyon: K♥J♠
Edward Holt: A♠Q♠
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♥8♠2♠ leaving Clements in front with his pair of jacks but Holt picked up a flush draw to go with his two overs.
The turn was the 7♥ and Clements was one card away from a triple-up until the A♥ fell on the river, improving Holt to a pair of aces and knocking out Kenyon and Clements in the process.
