Holloway Takes a Little Back

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Chad Holloway and Eddie Blumenthal, seated directly next to each other, are making a habit of clashing in today's tourney. Blumenthal won the first round, but Holloway is battling back.

In a recent hand, with the board reading {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs} on the flop, Holloway checked from the big blind position, and Blumenthal bet 450. Holloway called, bringing the {9-Clubs} on the turn. Both players checked, and then checked again when the {2-Clubs} fell on the river. Holloway showed {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a winning pair of aces, and Blumenthal mucked.

Holloway is now up to 19,000 after being down below 12,000 earlier today.
