Holz's tens held and he won the race to eliminate Leu as the board ran out
to give him a full house. That pot put him up to 495,000 chips.Holz is a German player who's had some recent success in 2009 on his home turf. In May, he won two events at the Hamburg Poker Masters. The first was worth �12,285 and the second worth �61,824. A few months later in November, Holz topped the �2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event at the German Poker Championships in Hamburg for �80,000. Those are the only three cashes we can find for Holz on record and they're all wins. If he stays true to form, he'll win this one and keep his cashes nothing but first-place finishes.
