Sam Holden Is Eliminated in Ninth Place at World Series of Poker Main Event Final TableHolden Earns $782,115 For His Finish |
|
It took about three hours for the 2011 World Series of Poker main event final table to find its first casualty, and although there was a lot of fluctuation among the stack sizes, it was the initial short stack, Sam Holden who busted first.
Holden was all in several times, trying to keep his head above water, but an increase in the blinds forced him to move all in holding A
J.
Ben Lamb woke up with a dominating A
K
and his hand went on to make the eventual nut flush on a board reading A 9 8 Q 6
.
Holden was gracious in defeat as he exited the main stage. Unfortunately, the 22-year-old will not be taking home any additional prize money and will have settle for the $782,115 he was paid back in July.
