Holmes Hero Calls Carr's Seven-Deuce
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
John Holmes raised preflop and found one caller in Paul Carr. On the subsequent 6?5?8? flop, Holmes continued for 3,500 and Carr raised to 9,500. Holmes put in the call and the A? was turned.
Holmes retook the betting lead with a bet of 14,000, and Carr put in the same amount for a call. On the 8? river, Holmes checked, after which Carr shoved in his stack of 23,700.
Holmes thought it over for a good while but eventually flicked in a call.
"You win," Carr exclaimed, as he flashed his 7?2? for a busted straight draw.
"I have king-high," Holmes stated as he turned over his K?Q? for the winning hand. He scooped a huge pot and left the table amazed by his daring call.
