Holz Shows a Four

Level 3 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Fedor Holz raised to 5,000 and Sam Greenwood defended the big blind. The flop fell {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and a continuation bet of 4,000 by Holz did the trick.

Greenwood limped in from the small blind and Dietrich Fast raised to 8,000 in the big blind. Greenwood called and the duo checked through a board of {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Fast as last aggressor showed the {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and that won the pot.

Holz made it 5,000 to go from the hijack and Sam Higgs called in the cutoff. On the button, Greenwood three-bet to 21,000 and Holz eventually clicked it back to 100,000. A quick fold from Higgs followed and Greenwood also let go to get shown the {4-Clubs} by Holz.

Fast Counterfeits Holz to Pull Away Further

Level 2 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

In the cutoff, Dietrich Fast opened the action with a raise to 4,000 and Kahle Burns called in the small blind while Fedor Holz came along from the big blind. The flop fell {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and action checked to Fast, who bet 4,000. Burns let go quickly but Holz check-raised to 15,000. What followed was a starting contest for more than two minutes that saw Fast squeeze to 30,000 and Holz reraise to 57,000.

On the {7-Hearts} turn, Holz checked and called a bet of 15,000 by Fast and a call by Holz before both checked through the {Q-Clubs} on the river. Fast flipped over {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for jacks over sevens and Holz mucked {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a counterfit flopped full house.

Two in a Row for Fast

Level 2 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Fedor Holz raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and was called by Sam Higgs on the button and Dietrich Fast in the big blind. All three players checked the {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop and Fast bet the {8-Diamonds} turn for 10,000. Both opponents called before the {9-Hearts} on the river brought no betting action. Fast flashed the {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for top pair and that won the pot.

Holz opened to 3,500 and folded to a three-bet by Sam Higgs, who made it 10,100 to go from one seat over.

Holz made it 3,500 to go again and Fast called on the button, as did Michael Lim in the small blind and Kahle Burns in the big blind. The {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades} flop was checked through and Fast's 8,000-bet on the {3-Hearts} turn won the pot uncontested.

Burns and Holz Battle it Out

Level 2 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Fedor Holz and Kahle Burns had a couple of run-ins in back-to-back hands.

First, with the flop reading {6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} Burns check-called a bet of 8,500 from Holz. Burns repeated the action for 19,500 on the {3-Clubs} turn. The river was the {k-Diamonds}. Both players checked. Holz showed {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a pair of sevens, but Burns held {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a straight.

The next hand was limped between the two players in the blinds. Burns bet 1,400 on the {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop and Holz called. Burns check-called 2,100 on the {4-Hearts} turn.

The river was the {k-Clubs}. Burns checked and Holz bet 8,000. Burns snap-called. Holz showed {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for queen-high, with Burns winning the pot with {k-Spades}{8-Hearts} for two pair.

Schwippert Eliminated; Lim Doubles Up

Level 2 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Sam Higgs raised to 2,500 from early position. Sam Greenwood three-bet to 9,000 from the cutoff. Michael Lim cold four-bet from the button to 25,000 and Jan-Eric Schwippert cold five-bet all in for 2,400 from the small blind. Higgs asked how much Lim had behind before folding. Greenwood called.

The remaining two active players checked the {10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} flop. Lim moved all in for 59,800 on the {9-Spades} turn and Greenwood snap-called.

Michael Lim: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} - set of aces
Sam Greenwood: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} - set of tens
Jan-Eric Schwippert: {5-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The river was the {8-Clubs} meaning Lim doubled up and Schwippert was sent to the exit.

"This is rigged," said Higgs, "I folded Jacks pre-flop!"

Fast Doubles Through Greenwood; Causes Confusion On the Table

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Sam Greenwood opened to 3,700 out of the small blind and Dietrich Fast three-bet to 13,000 in the big blind to pick up a call from Greenwood. On the {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, Greenwood checked and Fast continued for 6,500, which the Canadian called.

On the {10-Spades} turn, Fast bet 52,000 and Greenwood mulled over his decision for a bit before sliding forward his tower of T-25,000 chips worth 25,000. Fast seemingly had a decision to make and gave it some thought. After more than a minute, he called it off for 219,800 in total.

Dietrich Fast: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Sam Greenwood: {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

There were some very surprised faces at the table including Sam Higgs and Kahle Burns, as Fast had the effective nuts, and the {5-Clubs} river was a blank. The rocket start of Greenwood was canceled out while Fast now sits on almost two times the starting stack.
