Dave Hollenberg

Dave Hollenberg found himself on the bad end of two beats, leaving him short and just moments after the second unfortunate hand, JJ Liu opened to 25,000 and Hollenberg elected to put his remaining 71,000 into the middle, Liu called.

Dave Hollenberg: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
JJ Liu: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The dealer spread out {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} on the flop and Hollenberg's king-queen was still leading the way. A devasting {10-Hearts} peeled off on the turn, leaving Hollenberg without words as he started to walk away. The {7-Spades} rivered sealed the deal for Liu, taking down the pot with her turned pair of dimes and Hollenberg was eliminated.
