Holmes Doubles Through Yamada
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
In a family pot with a board of 7♠5♦10♠, Michael Holmes led for 2750,000, Kenneth Douglas folded, and then Derrick Yamada raised to 1,025,000.
After some thought, Holmes then moved all in for 2,600,00, which Yamada quickly called to put him at risk.
"You got a set again?"Holmes asked him as he tabled 10♥7♥ for top two-pair, and was relieved to see Yamada held 5♠7♣ for the bottom two-pair.
The turn 2♠ made it a sweat as Yamada could now hit a spade or a five to win, bit the river was the A♦ and Holmes was awarded the pot for a huge double.
