Holmes Triples Up
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Liran Betito raised 550,000 under the gun and Kevin Rand made the call before Michael Holmes shoved his 1,750,000 in the middle. Both Betito and Rand made the call.
Holmes was already standing up and putting his backpack on as the Q♦5♠2♠ flop hit and once Betito checked, Rand announced a pot-sized bet. Betito snap-mucked and both hands were tabled.
Michael Holmes: A♦K♠5♦4♣
Kevin Rand: A♣K♣Q♥7♠
Holmes was in rough shape as Rand had flopped top pair but the 2♣ turn and 5♣ river improved him to trip fives as he sat back down to collect the triple up.
