Holmes Calls with Top Pair for His Tournament Life
Level 27
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Preston McEwen and George Holmes were heads-up in the blinds with the board reading 
. McEwen led out for 875,000 into a pot of over 1,000,000 already. Holmes called and the 
landed on the river.
McEwen announced all in, putting Holmes to the test for his remaining 3,195,000. It was a huge overbet shove from McEwen and Holmes took a moment to think about his decision.
After a couple of minutes passed, Holmes said the word "call" and McEwen turned over 
for just ace-high. Holmes tabled his 
for top pair and scored a huge double up.
