Preflop, Chris Holmes raised from the button to 2,500 over one limp, and Ali Khalil made it 6,200 to go. The limper folded and Holmes four bet all in for about 25,000 total. Khalil went into the tank and Holmes kept his hat over his face Mark Vos style.

Khalil tanked for a good while and eventually made the call.

"I have nothing," said Holmes.

"YES!" screamed Khalil as he slammed his fist on the table, revealing {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} as the room fell eerily silent. He would be up against a meagre {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to ship the pot to Khalil and Holmes to the rail.

After the hand Khalil was all too happy to let us know that Holmes had been four-betting him all day and that he'd finally caught him out.

Khalil now has 57,000.
