Big Stax 500 (Day 1B): Will The Real Alan Kraut Please Stand Up

Level 3 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Day 1B Entries: 87

Alan Kraut (Doylestown, PA)
Alan Kraut (Doylestown, PA) has fired multiple bullets into both the Big Stax 300 and this event, with not much to show from it.  Kraut has run into some really unlucky spots over the past week, but things may be turning around for him.  On a flop of J♠ 8♣ 7, an unknown player led out for 1,600.  Kraut would raise the bet to 4,800, with Anthony Anastasio three-betting to 11,000.  The original bettor would shove for just over 20,000, with Alan shoving (having both players covered).  Anastasio made the call, giving us a three-way all-in:

Player X: Q Q♠ (over pair)
Kraut: J 8♠ (top two)
Anastasio: 10♠ 9♣  (flopped straight)

Turn: 6
River: 8

Everyone in the hand would have a little piece, but Anastasio held a commanding lead with the straight.  After the turn, Alan would need to fill up to win the hand, and that's exactly what happened.  After a short delay to determine the chip count for each player, Kraut would be awarded the pot, chipping up to 120,000.
