Holmes Starts the Comeback

Level 32 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Arkadi Onikoul raised it up to 625,000 from under the gun and picked up a call from Mitchell Halverson on his left. George Holmes stuck in the last of his 475,000 chips from the hijack and that enticed Sean Ragozzini and Glynn Beebe to come along from the blinds.

The flop fell {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} and the blinds checked to Onikoul who bet 650,000. The rest of the table folded which allowed Onikoul to collect the side pot and the cards were tabled.

Onikoul showed {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} but Holmes flopped a pair of nines with {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The {j-Spades} on the turn and the {6-Hearts} on the river did not allow Onikoul to catch up and Holmes increased his stack to over 2,000,000 chips.

"Let's go George!" his friend on the rail shouted. "It's not time to go home yet. We're not going home 'til this thing is over."
