Mike Holm opened to 85,000 in the cutoff, and David Gonia three-bet to 185,000 in the small blind. Holm called, and the two took in a flop. Gonia continued for 175,000 and was called, seeing a turn. Gonia loaded up the second bullet and fired: 325,000. Holm thought long and hard this time, leaning back in his chair and checking the tournament information screen. He finally called, and action went check-check on the river.
"Sixes," Gonia said.
Holm had it beat: for a pair of aces.
The next hand, Gonia opened for 85,000 on the button and got three-bet to 200,000 by Chance Lautner. Gonia jammed, and Lautner thought for about a minute before opting for a call.

Gonia was eliminated by Holm's two pair a few hands later.
