Holtz Doubles To Stay Alive
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mike Holtz was in middle position and raised for 190,000, leaving behind one single 25,000 chip. The player in the small blind announced "all in" and Holtz took a few moments to consider.
"I have a pair," the small blind said. "Not great news to hear," Holtz joked. "We are flipping," the small blind added. "That's what I was afraid of," Holtz replied.
Holtz eventually made the call.
Mike Holtz: K♣3♣
Small Blind: 2♦2♠
The board ran out Q♠3♥9♥6♦9♦ and Holtz was again able to double up and stay alive.
