Holtz Reduces the Field by One
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A player from under the gun limped in, Mike Holtz limped behind from the small blind and a player in the big blind checked.
All three players checked the 9♣6♣5♠ flop leading to the 6♦ turn. Holtz bet 8,500, the big blind moved all in for 10,500, the under the gun player got out of the way and Holtz made the call to put the big blind at risk.
Big Blind: K♣K♦10♦7♣ 
Mike Holtz: A♣J♠10♣7♦
Both players had the same gutshot straight draw, Holtz had the nut-flush draw and a low draw while the big blind had an overpair. The river was the A♥ giving Holtz top pair to send his opponent to the rail and take the pot.
