Richard Holmes Wins Monster Pot

Richard Holmes
Richard Holmes
Richard Holmes is now a clear chip leader in today's field after a massive pot was just pushed his way.

On a flop of {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}, a player bet out 2,800 from the cutoff and Holmes re-pots it from the button to about 11,000. This is enough to pot the cutoff player all in, and he makes the call his tournament life.

Holmes: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Holmes was well in front with a set as his opponent would need a miracle runner-runner on the board to stay alive. Amazingly the {6-Diamonds} fell on the turn to give his opponent maximum outs, but the {J-Diamonds} on the river was enough to send his opponent to the rail.

Holmes now has amassed over 43,000 in chips.
