Ghassemi's Superior Play Ousts Holloway

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Chad Holloway
Chad Holloway

Level 14 Blinds 2k/4k/4k

After Chad Holloway limped from the small blind, Pedram Ghassemi opened to 12,000 and then Holloway limp-jammed for 73,000.

Although this move is usually associated with super strong ranges, Ghassemi made the call anyways to put Holloway at risk.

Chad Holloway: QQ
Pedram Ghassemi: A10

Holloway was in great shape to double here, but the runout of 3102A5 gave Ghassemi two-pair on the turn to defeat Holloway's queens and sent him to the rail in brutal fashion.
