There's no denying that Fedor Holz is playing great and running better here in Event #2, which was evidenced by a hand he just played against Tom Marchese.

It began with Holz raising to 165,000 from the small blind with the {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} only to have Marchese three-bet all in for 1.5 million with the {a-Spades}{j-Spades}. Holz hit the tank, using a time extension in the process, and eventually dropped in a call.

Holz was way behind, but that all changed when the flop came down {7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to give him the nuts. Marchese needed to go runner-runner full house in order to win, but the {6-Spades} turn took away any chance of that happening.

The meaningless {3-Diamonds} was run out on the river and Marchese hit the rail in third place for $300K.
