Andy Black

Oran Holt had the best of it before the community cards were dealt, holding {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

against Andy Black's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

in a preflop all-in showdown.

Unfortunately for Holt, Black spiked a four on the flop to take the lead in the hand and never looked back. The complete board was: {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

.

To his credit, Holt showed nothing but class after suffering the tournament-ending bad beat, shaking Black's hand with a smile before exiting the tournament area.

Over the past few hours, Black has soared past the 200k mark in chips and looks in fine shape to make it through to Day 3.
