Holz Shoves on Rast; Now Contends for Chip Lead

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Fedor Holz
Fedor Holz

From the cutoff, Fedor Holz opened with a raise and both Justin Bonomo and Brian Rast called from the button and big blind respectively.

The flop landed {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and Holz fired out a continuation-bet of 24,000 as Bonomo folded, and Rast check-called.

The turn landed the {5-Clubs}, and following a check from Rast, Holz bet 29,000. Rast tossed in five 25,000-denomination chips amounting to a raise of 125,000, and Holz made the call as the river landed the {3-Hearts}.

Rast cut out a bet of 260,000, and after using his second time extension button, Holz pushed all in. Rast quickly folded and dropped to 470,000, while Holz motored his stack up to 1.2 million; good enough to contend for the chip lead with Steffen Sontheimer.
