Holloway Flushes Out Ace-King with Ace-King

Chad Holloway

From middle position, Chad Holloway moved all in for 46,800 and an opponent on the button came along for his final 41,000.

Holloway: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

Although a chop would be expected, the {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop gave Holloway a flush draw, and when the dealer delivered the {5-Hearts} on the turn, followed by the {7-Spades} on the river, it would be Holloway eliminating his opponent while moving to over 90,000 in chips.

Johnson Takes a Hit

Emily Johnson

Emily Johnson called a 31,000-chip all-in from the button and was in dominating shape with her {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} against her opponent's {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The flop of {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{J-Clubs} gave her opponent additional outs to the straight, and when the {9-Clubs} and {8-Clubs} landed on the turn and river, Johnson's opponent would indeed spike his straight to double through to nearly 70,000 as Johnson took a hit to 173,000.

Dominguez Gets Lucky

Thomas Dominguez shoved on the button, and the player in the big blind was agonizing whether to call off her 50,000 or so. Dominguez flashed her the {a-Diamonds}, and she continued tanking for awhile and showed the {a-Hearts}. Finally, she opted to call and showed {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Dominguez had {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and was dominated, but he binked a three on the turn and is among the leading stacks.
