Holtz Catches a Jack to Eliminate Bais

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Mike Holtz opened from the hijack and Sanjeev Bais jammed for roughly 600,000 from the button. Holtz stuck in the call when the action got back to him.

Sanjeev Bais: AK All in
Mike Holtz: AJ

Bais had the higher kicker and looked poised to earn a much-needed double up to send his stack back over seven figures.

However, the dealer had other ideas as the 84J flop propelled Holtz into the lead with a pair of jacks.

The rest of the board ran out 94, and Bais was the next casualty of the Super Turbo Bounty.
