Holden Has His Eyes Set on Back-to-Back Final Tables

David Kluchman opened for 14,000 from early position only to have last year's November Niner Sam Holden three-bet to 33,000 from late position. Sallie Avino then moved all in for 219,000 from the small blind, Kluchman got out of the way, and Holden made the call.

Showdown
Holden: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Avino: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Avino had picked the wrong time to push as Holden held the granddaddy of all hands. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and that was all she wrote for Avino.
