Holst Eliminates Opponent With Queens

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

In a heads-up pot with close to 45,000 in the middle on a flop showing 853, Michael Holst checked from early position to a player in the cutoff who moved all in for just over 20,000. Holst made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Opponent: 99
Michael Holst: QQ

Both players had an overpair to the board but the queens for Holst were well in the lead. The board ran out 6J and the queens held up to score the pot and send Holst's opponent to the exit.

"Are you going to rebuy?" asked a player at the table.

"Nope, it's nap time for me," said the cutoff before making his way to the door.

The action was relayed by the table after the fact. David Coghlan opened to 1,200 from the button and Lance Banktooten put in a three-bet to 3,600 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Coghlan put in a four-bet to 9,000, which Banktooten called.

The flop came 743 and both players checked their options to the 9 turn. Banktooten elected to lead out for 8,000 and Coghlan made the call.

The K completed the board and Banktooten bet again, this time to 12,000. Coghlan moved all in for over 20,000 and Banktooten quickly let his hand go.

Coghlan revealed that he had AK for the turned ace-high flush to take down the four-bet pot.
