Karga Holt Eliminated in 7th Place ($63,781)

Karga Holt - 7th Place
Karga Holt - 7th Place
From under the gun, Michael Katz raised to 76,000 and action folded all the way around to Karga Holt in the small blind. Holt moved all in for 503,000 total. The big blind got out of the way and Katz went into the tank for what seemed like ages. Multiple times Katz tried to put the chips into the middle to make the call, but seemed physically unable to as if his arm wouldn't extend.

"This is close, this is so close. I think I'm going to need to flip a coin on this one." Katz said, to which Benjamin Gilbert pulled out a coin and tossed it across the table. Laughter ensued around the room and even Katz sparked a smile.

Finally, after a solid five or six minutes, Katz made the call. He showed {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} against Holt's {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}.

The dealer burned and dealt the flop. The door card was the {Q-Spades}, with the {K-Spades} and {K-Clubs} to follow. The turn was the {J-Spades} and the river the {2-Diamonds}. Holt was sent to the rail in seventh place in a very unfortunate fashion.
