The 2021 WSOP Main Event runner-up George Holmes had been nursing a short stack for an extended period and eventually got the the last 18,500 into the middle for Douglas Jones to look him up preflop.
George Holmes: A♣8♦
Douglas Jones: K♠K♣
There was no ace on the Q♥9♠3♠3♥6♥ runout and that spelled the end for Holmes.
"Nice playing with you, George," Jones told him before they parted ways.
