Sontheimer Loses a Flip to Holz

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The Germans on the table had previously already joked with an "und tschüß", which translates to "goodbye," but it took until now to come into effect as one of them was sent to the rail. It was short stack Steffen Sontheimer, who open-shoved from the small blind for around 48,000, and Fedor Holz in the big blind called.

Steffen Sontheimer: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Fedor Holz: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Sontheimer was eliminated, prompting Holz to say the "und tschüß" with a smile on the face. Sontheimer took it in good spirit though and laughed back. He then immediately asked the floor if he can re-enter here or walk over to the main venue, and may very well be back shortly.
