Holland Doubles Through Persent
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jon Persent had grinded out a profit since moving to the final two tables and then opened to 80,000 in the hijack. Edgar Antezana called on the button and Andrew Holland three-bet to 250,000 in the big blind. Only Persent called while Antezana folded.
Holland led the 8♣3♥2♠ flop for 450,000, which was nearly half of his stack. Persent moved all-in with the covering stack and Holland called without any delay.
Andrew Holland: K♣K♥ 
Jon Persent: J♣J♠
The A♣ turn and K♠ river delivered no suckout and Holland doubled with a set of kings.
"I was only afraid of pocket aces," Holland smirked when he raked in the chips.
