Holden on the Wrong Side of a Cooler
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mark Holden from under the gun and opened and got his stack of around 150,000 into the middle preflop against Thang Nguyen on the button.
Mark Holden: A?K? 
Thang Nguyen: A?A?
It was a tough situation for Holden to get out of, but he did pick up some outs as the 8?8?K? flop paired his king. However, there were no more kings in sight as the 2? turn and 9? river cemented Holden's place on the rail.
