Holden Steady

There was about 45,000 in the middle and the board read {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{J-Clubs} when Sam Holden checked, his opponent bet 15,000, and Holden called. The turn brought the {A-Hearts}, Holden checked, and his opponent thought about 15 seconds before checking behind.

The river brought the {7-Diamonds}, and both players checked somewhat quickly. Holden turned over {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, and nodded as he saw his opponent's {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.
