A Few Bustouts

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

Among those to fall was former winner of this event Chad Holloway. In a tweet about the hand, Holloway said he was in the big blind and was the third caller with {K-}{2-} after a min-raise to 1,000. He tweeted that he was thinking of a "possible stop and go."

Holloway checked the flop of {2-}{2-}{7-}, then jammed the remainder of his 4,200 stack after the original raiser bet 750 and both other players called. The original raiser called, tabling pocket sevens after the other two players folded. Holloway found no help on the rest of the board, and headed for the exit.

Chad Holloway: {K-}{2-}
Opponent: {7-}{7-}
