John Holley Doubles

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

With about 4,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {K-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}, both blinds checked, John Holley checked from under the gun, and two more players in late position and the hijack checked behind.

The turn brought the {2-Hearts} and the small blind checked. The big blind bet 3,000, Holley moved all in for about 9,500, the middle-position player folded, as did the hijack and small blind, and the big blind called to put Holley at risk.

Holley: {A-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Big blind: {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Holley held the nut straight with a redraw to the nut flush and was well ahead of his opponent's set of deuces. The {J-Hearts} fell on the river to give Holley the nut flush and secure his double-up.
