Hollis Earns a Near Double

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Bryan Hollis
Bryan Hollis

Action folded around to the button where the player moved all in for just under 6,000. In the big blind, Bryan Hollis called.

Bryan Hollis: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Button: {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} and that kept Hollis in the lead with his pair of eights, allowing him to nearly double up, as when the stacks were counted he had just a bit more than his opponent. With that, the defending champion moved to right around 11,000.
