Holowchuk Find a Hockey Stick

Level 11 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player limped from under the gun, Thomas Holowchuk moved all in for 3,000 and Kenny Han bumped it up to 9,000 from the button. The player under the gun called, creating a side-pot and the dealer flipped over {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} on the flop.

Action checked to Han who bet 9,000 and his opponent quickly surrendered, sending the side to Han. "Do you have a pair?" Holowchuk said and Han nodded as he tabled {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a pair of fours. Holowchuk turned over {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for the same pair but a lower kicker.

"I guess I gotta hit a seven!" said Holowchuk as the dealer burned and turned a {4-Spades}. The river came down lead changing {7-Hearts}, hitting Holowchuk with a boat as he survived his all-in thanks to an unlikely river card, doubling through Han.
