Hand #162: Jack Oliver completed the small blind, George Holmes raised to 4,000,000 in the big blind, and Oliver called. The flop was {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Oliver checked. Holmes bet 3,000,000 and Oliver called. The {q-Clubs} on the turn saw both players tap the table.

On the {2-Diamonds} river, Oliver checked once again and Holmes fired a hefty bet of 16,000,000, which was enough to make Oliver fold.

Hand #163: Holmes raised to 3,600,000 in the small blind and Koray Aldemir defended. Holmes checked the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop to Aldemir, who bet 4,400,000. Holmes check-raised to 15,400,000 and Aldemir folded immediately.

Hand #164: Holmes raised to 3,600,000 and Oliver called from the big blind. Oliver checked the {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop, Holmes bet 2,000,000, and Oliver called.

The turn brought the {k-Diamonds} and Oliver checked a second time. Holmes rapidly fired a bet of 3,400,000 and Oliver folded.

Hand #165: Aldemir made it 3,300,000 on the button and Holmes peeled a flop from the big blind. The flop was {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Holmes checked. Aldemir bet 3,000,000 and Holmes called. Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} on the turn.

The {j-Diamonds} river paired the board and Holmes bet 4,000,000. Aldemir mulled over his decision for one minute, then came up with a raise to 15,300,000. It was now Holmes who dove deep into the tank before ultimately emerging with a call.

Aldemir showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for kings and jacks, Holmes couldn't beat it and mucked.

After the hand, the players went on a 20-minute break.

Hand #157: Jack Oliver raised to 4,000,000 on the button and Koray Aldemir defended the big blind to see the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. Aldemir's check was followed by a bet worth 3,000,000 by Oliver and Aldemir then check-raised to 8,300,000. The call by Oliver led them to the {3-Hearts} turn on which Aldemir mulled over his decision for 56 seconds and checked.

Oliver opted for a bet worth 8,000,000 and earned the pot without resistance. "Show the bluff," his rail demanded.

Hand #158: George Holmes opened to 3,600,000 on the button and Aldemir flat-called in the small blind. The {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop was checked around and the {2-Clubs} appeared on the turn. Aldemir now bet 3,800,000 and that won the pot.

Hand #159: Aldemir raised to 3,400,000 on the button for Holmes to call out of the big blind. The {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop went check, check, and the {3-Diamonds} followed on the turn. Holmes bet 4,200,000 and Aldemir folded.

Hand #160: Aldemir received a walk.

Hand #161: Aldemir limped the small blind and Oliver raised to 5,000,000 in the big blind. The limp-raise to 15,000,000 by Aldemir then brought a quick fold from Oliver and the {2-Hearts} was revealed.

Hands #140-143: Oliver Doubles Through Holmes

Level 39 : 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Jack Oliver
Jack Oliver

Hand #140: George Holmes raised to 3,800,000 and Jack Oliver defended the big blind. The flop was {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} and both players checked.

The {k-Clubs} on the turn brought another check from Oliver. Holmes bet 3,500,000 and the Brit quickly gave it up.

Hand #141: Oliver limped in from the small blind and Holmes checked his option. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Oliver checked. Holmes bet 3,200,000 and Oliver called.

Another check from Oliver followed on the {7-Spades} turn and Holmes instantly checked behind. Oliver checked the {q-Diamonds} river, Holmes bet 2,000,000 and Oliver paid him off. Holmes showed {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for trip sevens to win the hand.

Hand #142: Oliver made it 3,200,000 to go on the button, Holmes called from the small blind, and Koray Aldemir called from the big blind. It was a family pot with the flop coming down {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, which got checked around.

Holmes bet 4,200,000 on the {8-Clubs} turn and netted two quick folds to chalk another one up in the win column.

Hand #143: Holmes raised to 3,600,000 on the button, Oliver three-bet shoved 20,900,000 from the big blind and Holmes called.

Jack Oliver: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}
George Holmes: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Oliver was ahead preflop and got even further ahead after the {q-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop. The {2-Hearts} was safe for him as well, and although the {k-Spades} on the river briefly scared some Oliver fans, it gave the Brit the nut flush for a double up.
