Holmes Chips Up More
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Arriving on a turn of 4♣J♥5♠4♦, Rory Ryan bet 6,500 from the big blind into a pot of 31,000. John Holmes was his opponent, in middle position, and he shook his head a few times before putting in the call.
The 2♥ river then completed the board, and Ryan fired another bet, of 12,000 chips this time. Holmes tanked for another minute or so before tossing in a calling chip.
Ryan showed K♥5♥ for two pair, fives and fours, but Holmes had that beat with his 9♠9♥ for a higher two pair. He scooped up another pot, ending up with a stack worth over three starting stacks.
