Fitzgerald Fizzles Out

Level 7 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The pot had grown to a size of 15,500 when the action was caught on the turn. Shane Holohan checked from early position to Dara Fitzgerald on the button. Fitzgerald bet 5,000 and, after informing how much Fitzgerald had behind, Holohan made the call.

The two saw the {j-Spades} river fall and Holohan quickly led all in, covering Fitzgerald's 11,500 remaining chips. Fitzgerald reluctantly put in the rest of the chips, predicting that his opponent had hit the river.

Fitzgerald was right, as the river made Holohan a full house with {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Fitzgerald was in the lead until the river with his {a-}{k-}, but the final card changed his destiny and he swiftly left the table. Meanwhile, Holohan is sitting on a very healthy stack of more than three times the average.
