Chad Holloway

Level 5 (200/400/50)

After losing a big pot, "Chaitanyaa" was left with just 12 in his stack, which meant they were automatically all in from the ante.

"The Ace Boom" bet 531 and then called when Gruneberg raised to 2,000. On the turn, "The Ace Boom" checked and Gruneberg bet 4,475. "The Ace Boom" woke up with a min-check-raise to 8,950 and Gruneberg called to see the river.

"The Ace Boom" moved all in and Gruneberg folded. "The Ace Boom" tabled the for a full house and it was good as "Chaitanyaa" showed the . Ship the bounty to "The Ace Boom".
