Soma Calls Holskyi’s Bluff; Holskyi Eliminated With a Full House Soon After
Leo Soma won a decent-sized pot off of Kostya Holskyi after calling him down with the third pair on a three-to-a-flush board on the river.
The board was 10♦5♥3♥A♣ and the turn got checked around. The river was the 4♥. Holskyi made a big bet of 15,000 and after a few moments of thinking, Soma called. Holskyi reluctantly turned over 6♦2♣ for a pair of sixes, and Soma showed the K♣6♣ for the same pair with a better kicker.
After that, Holskyi was able to hang around for a couple of orbits, winning some smaller pots, but eventually had to go all in again on the button and got called by Eric Tang in the big blind.
Kostya Holskyi: A♣7♠
Eric Tang: K♥J♦
The flop was great for Holskyi: 7♣J♠7♦, giving him trips against Tang’s two pair. However, the unlikely J♣ was dealt next and all but sealed Holskyi’s tournament. The Q♠ on the river sent him to the rail.
