Holley Crack Pocket Rockets

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

John Holley raised to 45,000 from middle position and was met with a raise to 135,000 from Matthew Lawrence in the big blind. Holley simply moved all in for 423,000 and Lawrence made the call to create a nearly 900K pot.

Lawrence: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Holley: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Holley had run smack dab into pocket rockets but managed to overcome them when the flop fell {5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Suddenly Lawrence needed an ace to make a set and reclaim the lead. The {8-Diamonds} turn was not it and neither was the {7-Clubs} river. Lawrence took a big hit down to 545,000 while Holley doubled to 897,000.
