Holland Eliminates Nuwwarah
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Colorado's Maxx Holland opened to 1,100 under the gun and received two calls before Mo Nuwwarah three-bet to 4,500 on the button. Holland piled a covering stack of chips forward and the two callers quickly folded, sending action onto Nuwwarah.
Faced with a decision for his stack of just below 20K, Nuwwarah thought for a few moments and called.
Holland showed 
, and Nuwwarah nodded, seeing the bad news as he tabled 
The flop 
gave Nuwwarah chop outs in addition to his three outs to double. The turn 
took away any heart outs he had, and the river fell a clean 
to earn Holland the pot and eliminate Nuwwarah.
