Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
John Holmes raised preflop and found one caller in Paul Carr. On the subsequent 6♣5♣8♥ flop, Holmes continued for 3,500 and Carr raised to 9,500. Holmes put in the call and the A♠ was turned.
Holmes retook the betting lead with a bet of 14,000, and Carr put in the same amount for a call. On the 8♠ river, Holmes checked, after which Carr shoved in his stack of 23,700.
Holmes thought it over for a good while but eventually flicked in a call.
"You win," Carr exclaimed, as he flashed his 7♦2♦ for a busted straight draw.
"I have king-high," Holmes stated as he turned over his K♦Q♣ for the winning hand. He scooped a huge pot and left the table amazed by his daring call.
