John Holley Eliminated in 3rd Place ($265,156)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
The lightning speed continues as the chips went into the middle twice in quick succession.
First, Hassan Kamel raised the button for the pot and Ryan Hoenig jammed for 890,000 in the small blind. John Holley tank-folded and Kamel called.
Ryan Hoenig: Q♦Q♠7♠7♦
Hassan Kamel: A♦K♣J♥6♠
The board ran out K♠9♠5♣3♠4♦ and they chopped it up.
Soon after, Hoenig limp-called a raise to 300,000 and got it in against Kamel on the 10♣9♠7♠ flop.
John Holley: K♠4♠3♠2♣
Hassan Kamel: A♠10♦8♦6♦
Kamel was in fact rooting for a spade to keep the jovial Holley in the mix but the K♥ turn and 3♣ river knocked out Holley in third place.
