Martin Holmes

Matthew Leecy’s chip leading stack is that much more imposing thanks to his elimination of Martin Holmes.

Leecy opened from middle position to 25,000 and got calls from Holmes in the small blind along with Aaron Olshan in the big blind. The A♣Q♥3♣ flop checked to Leecy and he continued for 34,000. Holmes upped the action and moved all-in for 275,000 total.

Olshan got out of the way and Leecy thought for 30 seconds before calling. Holmes held a flush draw 7♣6♣ but Leecy’s hand Q♣J♣ was far superior. The 4♥ turn gave Holmes outs to a straight but he came up short on the 2♦ river.

Leecy is playing 1,300,000, good enough for one-third of the chips in play.
