Chen Hits One-Outer to KO Holmes
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daniel Holmes shoved for around 50,000 from early position and Pete Chen called from the small blind with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Daniel Holmes: Q♠Q♣
Pete Chen: J♣J♦
Holmes was in great shape to double up with the higher pocket pair and remained ahead on the 2♥K♥3♥ flop. The 5♥ turn meant any heart would produce a chop. The once card Holmes didn't want to see came in as the J♠ river fell, securing Holmes' elimination while Chen claimed the last of his chips.
