Holloway Doubles Immediately

PokerNews writer Chad "Birdshirt" Holloway has taken a day away from writing about poker to actually play in this tournament. It seems that good fortune has befallen Holloway already, as we caught up with him in the first ten minutes of the tournament staring at a board of {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} against one opponent.

Holloway check-called a bet of 125 from his opponent and the {6-Hearts} came on the turn. Holloway checked once again and his opponent put out 275. Holloway raised to 600 only to find his opponent push out a re-raise to 1,375. Holloway made it 2,200 and his opponent moved all in. Holloway snap called and showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for a flopped full house. The {4-Diamonds} completed the board and Holloway was able to double his stack immediately.
