Action started on the turn in a heads-up pot. George Holmes was playing from the big blind against the player on the button.

With a board reading {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, Holmes led into the button player for 12,000. The player made the call in position.

The scary and connecting {7-Clubs} landed on the turn, bringing in the front-door flush and putting a four-liner to a straight on the board.

Holmes checked, his opponent bet 23,000. Holmes thought for about 20 seconds and put in the call.

The button shook his head and revealed {q-Hearts}{9-Spades} for top pair, but Holmes showed {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for flopped two pair to take down the pot.
