"What is he doing with king ten" laughed Marko Busic who wasn't involved in the hand. "He could've been dead" he said to his neighbor in the one seat. He then mumbled something like "he'll donk it of". Holz just sat there silently, not reacting to the comments in any way.
On a board of Fedor Holz checked from the cutoff to David Abramov on the button. The man from Austria bet 10,125 and Holz tanked for several minutes before calling.

In The Netherlands there's a saying "Wie 't kleine niet eert, is 't grote niet weerd", or like they say in English; "He that can not keep a penny shall never have many". This for sure goes for David Boyaciyan who's keen on small pots, and just won another one.

The river came the and Boyaciyan bet out 1,600. Hartmann made the call by tossing in a single 100 chip, but would soon have to add the other 1,500 as Boyaciyan showed and Hartmann mucked.
