Carr Applies Pressure to Miller

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Chad Miller
Chad Miller

Action folded around to Chad Miller who limped for 60,000 and John Carr raised to 165,000 from the seat next to him. The rest of the table folded and Miller slid in the call.

The two players saw a flop of 532 and Miller elected to lead for 115,000. Carr, undeterred, announced "raise" before counting out a bet of 340,000 and placing it over the line. Miller thought for a while before folding, showing A3 for a pair and a gutshot. Carr obliged and flashed the A before mucking his hand.

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: JJ
Scott Kenyon: KJ
Edward Holt: AQ

The dealer fanned a flop of 982 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.
