Holden on the Wrong Side of a Cooler
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mark Holden from under the gun and opened and got his stack of around 150,000 into the middle preflop against Thang Nguyen on the button.
Mark Holden: A♣K♦ 
Thang Nguyen: A♠A♥
It was a tough situation for Holden to get out of, but he did pick up some outs as the 8♦8♠K♣ flop paired his king. However, there were no more kings in sight as the 2♦ turn and 9♣ river cemented Holden's place on the rail.
