Hold Loses his Grip on Tournament
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ariah Nead limped from under the gun before Sean Hold made it 100,000 on the button. Nead followed with an all-in to put Hold at risk should he call. Hold indeed made the call to commit his stack of 395,000 to be at risk as they went to a showdown.
Sean Hold: 8♥8♠
Ariah Nead: 9♥9♠
Hold was in a rough spot as he was outpipped by Nead, who had a slightly better pair as they went to a runout.
Hold called for an eight, but it did not come on the 4♣3♠3♥ flop.
Hold's pleas for an eight were not answered on the A♥ turn or the 10♦ river as he was sent out of the tournament.
