Kimball Ousts Krantz; Holloway Gets Respect

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.
