No Hand-For-Hand; Everyone's in the Money
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 1,500 ante
Parris Holmes raised to 18,000, and Greg Raymer three-bet shoved. Holmes was the shortest stack in the room, and Raymer had calling chips to spare, announcing his intentions and standing pat. Holmes patted as well, and he was going to be eliminated.
Holmes showed , and that's all we saw. Raymer turned over a ninety-eight, and Holmes has left the building.
That's 15th place, and it came simultaneously with the previous elimination. That means we don't even have to bother with the pesky hand-for-hand play as our 14 survivors are now safely in the money.
