Holz Back in the Mix

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Since re-entering, Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz has won several big pots without securing a full double and moved up the leaderboard with more than three times the starting stack.

In the latest hand, he raised to 25,800 in the cutoff and found a single caller on the button, which happened to be Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi. Holz bet the flop for 57,960 and earned a call to then bet the turn for 96,720 into 196,020.

Shakerchi sent his cards into the virtual muck and Holz chipped up without showdown.
