Holley Eliminated by Koral

With 300,000 in the pot preflop in a blind-versus-blind situation, the {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} came out on the flop and Tod Holley moved all in for 683,000 from the small blind. Tom Koral was in the big blind and made a quick call.

Showdown
Koral: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Holley: {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Koral was ahead with his aces, but needed to dodge a bevy of Holley's outs. The {2-Spades} was kind to Koral, as was the {A-Diamonds} river. Koral took down the pot, chipping up to 1.98 million, while Holley was eliminated from the Main Event in 169th place.
