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.

Lamkin on the Rise

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After a couple of preflop raises, Joseph Lamkin and his opponent got all of their chips in the middle. Lamkin turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} and was up against the {j-}{j-} of his opponent who was at risk for just under 300,000.

The flop came {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} to give Lamkin the lead with a pair of aces. He stood up from his chair and clapped his hands when the board ran out {7-Clubs} and {k-Diamonds} as he held on to eliminate his opponent.

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 120,000 ante
Forrest Raleigh
Forrest Raleigh

Action was on the turn as the board read {3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Scott Drobes bet a small amount of 50,000 into a pot that was quite a bit larger. Forrest Raleigh considered his options and thought for about fifteen seconds before electing to call.

Drobes showed the {q-Spades}{9-Spades} while Raleigh turned over the winner with the {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flush to take the pot as the two players started to discuss the hand, the nature of the bet at the end and the ultimate decision to just call.
