Ship It Holley Ballas

John Holley's first bullet of the day just missed the target, after the circuit grinder went for a spectacular preflop bluff, only to run a weak ace into a pair of them.
We saw six players with bets of 600 in front of them, and Holley's last 14,000 pushed forward for the three-bet jam. The player to Holley's left paused for a beat before heaping a stack of baby blue T5000 chips forward for a huge four-bet.
Dennis Phillips was not pleased with this development, and he checked his cards a few times while lamenting the sudden increase in action that would prevent him from seeing the flop.
"Dang it!," he cried, joking as he folded his cards. "I wanted to play those too..."
The table quickly folded around and Holley asked if the reraiser held an ace, only to see the 
tabled in response. Holley could only muster the 
for a mistimed move, and the board ran out 
to end his first try here in the second starting flight.
"Queen-jack of spades..." said Phillips, using both fingers to point to the flop. "Queen-jack of spades... dang it!"
With two all-in moves made before him, Phillips wisely opted to fold the worst hand, but when the deck delivered the nut straight on the flop Phillips immediately regretted his disciplined decision.
"I'm the worst in the world," he told us with a wry grin. "I can't call there, but I could've called there too. Why not? I can play like the biggest donkey ever as good as anybody!"
