Hoenig Takes Check Battle
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ryan Hoenig raised to 160,000 from early position, with Stephen Deutsch calling on the button and John Holley defending his big blind.
The flop of 10♦10♣6♠ saw all three players check, with the action repeating on the J♣ turn.
One more check from each player on the 7♥ river saw Holley announce "jack" before Hoenig showed A♣K♦J♥3♠ for two pair with an ace kicker to take down the pot.
