Fedor Holz Exhausts Time Extensions While Doubling Dan Smith

Chad Holloway

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With around 45,000 in the pot and a flop of , Fedor Holz checked from middle position and Dan Smith bet 16,000 from the cutoff.

Holz used a time extension before check-raising to 40,000 and Smith called to see the turn, which both players checked. However, Holz took so long that he was required to use another time extension.

When the river put four hearts on the board, Holz led out for 24,000 and Smith moved all in for 44,500 more. Holz used his final time extension, and with seconds remaining he called with his flush. Unfortunately for him, it was no good as Smith held a full house with the .

Holz, who was on his second bullet, was left with just 10,000 after the hand and busted a short time later.

Phil Hellmuth Trending Downward

Chad Holloway

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth raised to 9,000 under the gun and David Peters looked him up from the cutoff. The rest of the players folded and it was heads-up action to the flop, which came down .

Hellmuth continued for 14,000, Peters called, and the dealer burned and turned the .

Hellmuth bet again, this time 19,000, and Peters called.

When the completed the board on the river, Hellmuth bet 21,000 and Peters snap-called.

"Ace," Hellmuth said without showing his cards. It was apparent he knew he was beat given how fast Peters called. Indeed, Peters rolled over the for a rivered two pair and Hellmuth mucked.
