Holbrook Busto

Having taken a hit to his stack earlier in the day, Benjamin Volpe has now moved back up amongst the chip leaders after taking out Nick Holbrook.

On a board that read {10-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}, Holbrook bet out before Volpe shoved. Holbrook thought about it for some time before making the call, showing down {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for two pair, ahead of the {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} of Volpe.

However, the {J-Diamonds} spiked on the river to give Volpe Broadway and sent Holbrook on his way.
