Kamel Rips Into Holley
Stephen Deutsch raised to 160,000 and was called by Ryan Hoenig in the big blind. On the A♠7♥4♥ flop, Hoenig bet 125,000 and Deutsch raised to 470,000 in order to force a fold.
One hand later, John Holley opened to 135,000 and was called by Hassan Kamel from one seat over, Deutsch defended his big blind. The trio headed to the 9♥9♦7♣ flop on which the action checked to Kamel, who bet 175,000 and received two calls.
The 3♠ followed on the turn and two checks led to Kamel's bet of 700,000. Deutsch frantically fiddled with his remaining chips and folded while Holley called after brief consideration.
That brought them to the A♦ river and Holley checked. Kamel plunked in a large stack of T-100,000 chips and it was worth an effective pot-sized bet of 2,420,000.
"I have a low ... you don't have to have a low," Holley said, enjoying a table massage since the two table redraw.
Ultimately, Holley opted to fold and asked "You got anything?"
Kamel replied swiftly: "I definitely had something."
"Did you have a low?" Holley asked shortly after.
"Too much information," Kamel concluded with a big smile on the face.
