Holmes Snaps off Douglas
Level 25
: Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Michael Holmes opened to 185,000 and was called by Kenneth Douglas to see a flop of 9♦6♣10♠. Douglas checked to Holmes who continued for 140,000 and Douglas called.
The turn was the 8♥ and Douglas check-called another bet from Holmes, this time for 420,000. When the river fell the 9♥, Douglas led for 540,000 and Holmes quickly tossed out a calling chip.
Douglas tabled K♥J♦ for nines with king-high and Holmes flipped over J♠7♠ for a turned straight to take down the sizeable pot, increasing his chip lead.
