A player opened in early position to 2,300, and Chad Holloway, who took down this event in 2013 for $84,915, three-bet shoved for 16,500. Action folded to his opponent, who tabled his hand without saying anything while reaching for chips.

"You folding?" Holloway said with a grin.

Chad Holloway: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Holloway had run into kings, but he found life on the {3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, giving him a flush draw. The {10-Clubs} turn added a few more outs for Holloway, and he made a flush on the {7-Diamonds} river to double.

"Jack and coke magic! How lucky do I get?" Holloway said, beaming after his double.
