Holloway Holds for a Big Boost Before Dinner
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Following an under-the-gun raise to 2,800, former event champion Chad Holloway three-bet to 8,000. A player in middle position cold-called the 8,000 and the original raiser jammed for 28,000. Holloway called off for 21,800 and the middle-position player called as well.
Chad Holloway: A♠A♥
Under the Gun: J♥J♣
Middle Position: A♣K♦
The board comes K♥3♠2♦5♠9♣ and Holloway's aces hold up to send him to dinner break with a triple-up and then some.
