Vladimir Krastev:
The board came .
From chipleader to cheerleader as they say, though Holz didn't hung around to cheer other players on.
Hartmann opened in that hand under the gun for 35,000 and Holz made the call from the cutoff. Hartmann checked on and shoved all in when Holz bet 41,000. Holz instantly folded and was left with under 200,000 in chips.
The next hand Rumen Nanev limped in from the small blind and Pascal Hartmann checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came and Nanev check called a bet of 44,000. Nanev check called another 69,000 on the turn and 157,000 on the river.
Hartmann showed and Nanev mucked, telling the table in a soft voice he had two pair as well.
