Holley Scores Another Double
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
When on the button, John Holley announced "maximum" and Hassan Kamel did so too, repotting from the small blind. Vladimir Smirnov glanced at four low cards and folded in the big blind while Holley called.
John Holley: 10♣9♠7♠2♣
Hassan Kamel:A♠K♣K♦6♦
The board ran out J♠9♣6♣Q♥Q♣ and Holley rivered a flush to double for 590,000.
"He folded low cards? Wow," Holley joked and another player remarked that it was an ICM fold.
"What is ICM?" Holley grinned and Kamel shook his head.
Smirnov and Dylan Weisman had to fold due to ICM implications the next orbit before Holley chopped with Kamel in the same button versus small blind scenario.
