Level 25
: Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
On a heads-up turn of K♥3♠9♣8♣, Michael Holmes led for 690,000 into the pot of roughly 1,400,000 and Derrick Yamada made the call.
The river came the J♦ and Holmes decided to check, and Yamada checked back.
Holmes flipped over 5♠6♠ for six-high while Yamada tabled K♥3♠ for a flopped two pair to take down the substantial pot, surging him back into the chip lead.
