Holladay Takes Big Pot From Drobes With River Eight
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Scott Drobes, who was the beneficiary of a river eight earlier to gain a big pot was apparently dealt a blow with a river eight in the same way.
According to him, he got in all in with Dustin Holladay on a ten high flop. Holladay held pocket queens against the pocket eights of Holladay. Just as before, an eight on the river killed the pocket queens and gave Holladay the pot over 500,000.
