Kimball Ousts Krantz; Holloway Gets Respect

Matt Hansen

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

After a series of limpers, Anna Kimball made it 1,200 from the small blind. Kody Krantz responded with a shove of 4,400 from early position and a player on the cutoff was the only other player to come along. Both remaining players checked down the board of J?8?8?3?8? and the cutoff turned over 7?7?, but Kimball had 9?9? for a better full house. Krantz turned over the losing A?10? and gathered his things to head for the door.

A moment later, Chad Holloway faced a series of limpers in the small blind at the same table. Holloway raised to 1,300 and three other players came along. The flop was J?6?5? and Holloway tossed out 2,000 — enough to get three folds and take the pot.
