Jeremy Holmes
Jeremy Holmes

Nicholas Hammarstrom raised to 60,000 from the cutoff, Jeremy Holmes three-bet jammed for 260,000 from the small blind and only Mark Sandness called from the big blind.

Jeremy Holmes: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Mark Sandness: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Holmes woke-up with a premium hand but Sandness held a better one and the {8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs} runout didn't change a thing as Holmes exited in 24th place for $6,147.
