The River Keeps Holbrook Alive
Posted 39 minutes ago Happy_Freaked • Level 7: 400-800, 100 ante
Yaxi Zhu just raised to 2,000 and Jeffrey Holbrook moved all in for 17,000. Yang Zhang was seated in the small blind and he moved all in as well after which Zhu folded her cards.
Holbrook, who finished 10th in this event last year, showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and he was up against Zhang's {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}.
The flop brought {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and Zhang took the lead, and the turn, the {9-Diamonds}, kept Holbrook's hopes alive. On the river the {J-Spades} hit and Holbrook made his straight.
Jeffrey Holbrook US 36,000 36,000
Yang Zhang CN 21,000 -17,000
