Blinds: 6,000-12,000
Limits: 12,000-24,000
Limits: 12,000-24,000
David Lewis bet his last 23,000 from the big blind on a board of 8♥K♦9♠4♦ and John Holley called in the hijack, as did Owais Ahmed in the small blind.
Holley asked Ahmed how much he had behind as they went to the 10♠ river. "Don't worry about me," Ahmed replied, committing his last chips.
"Raise. Just kidding," Holley said as he called.
Ahmed showed A♦7♦6♦2♠ for a straight, while Lewis had A♥K♥J♠3♦. Holley, though, turned over A♠Q♠Q♦J♥ for a king-high straight to scoop the pot and send both opponents to the rail.
