Katz Coolers Holst

Level 3 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante

Cary Katz raised to 4,000 from under the gun and Rainer Kempe three-bet to 17,000 on the button. Kristina Holst was in the big blind and bumped it up to 40,000. With the action back on Katz, he five-bet shoved all in for just under 100,000. Kempe thought for his 30 seconds but elected to fold. Holst, on the other hand, had too much committed already and made the call.

Cary Katz: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Kristina Holst: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Holst was left drawing to the two remaining queens in the deck. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and the pocket kings of Katz held on to win the pot. After the stacks were counted, Holst was barely covered and headed to the rail.
