Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Fedor Holz and Christoph Vogelsang have been battling for quite a bit today. We must say that Vogelsang has had the best of Holz so far today, which may have something to do with the fact that Vogelsang has had position on Holz for most of the day.

Just now we saw Vogelsang open for 85,000 and Holz called from the big blind. The flop came and both players checked. Holz bet out 140,000 and Vogelsang was quick to call.

The fell on the river and Holz checked. Vogelsang cut out 255,000 and slid them forward. Holz thought about it for a bit before releasing his hand into the muck.
