John Holley (Destin, FL)
$9,411
Level 24: Blinds 25k/50k
Joe Palma had John Holley on the ropes again. John was all-in pre-flop for his last 105k.
John: Q773
Joe: K975
Board: J 2 6 6 6
John doubled up with sixes-full of 7s.
A couple of hands later, Joe raised pot from the button and John called the 200k, leaving only 35k behind.
On the flop of Q 7 7, all Joe's chips went in.
Joe: AJ84 (Ace-high)
John: K963 (King-high)
Turn: 3 - pair of 3s for John
River: 4 - pair of 4s for Joe
Joe claimed the last pot and the title. John finished in second place, good for $9,411.
John came up from Florida just to play this one tournament. He likes both the pot limit and limit versions of this game, but won't be playing the Omaha Hi/Lo event (which starts in about 4.5 hours).
He used to be a fisherman, but now plays poker for a living. He's got two wins in PLO/8 events elsewhere, plus a couple of No Limit Hold'em titles and a Pot Limit Hold'em/Omaha win. His lifetime earnings are over half a million dollars.
