Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Also before the break, Fedor Holz and Mark Teltscher got a little frisky with one another, almost clashing in a very big pot.

Holz had opened from the button to 38,000. In the big blind, Teltscher reraised to 105,000. After some thought, Holz pulled back his original raise and then put out 181,000, bumping the action up even higher. Teltscher had about 450,000-475,000 behind and went into the tank. Eventually, but only after the clock hit zero to signify the end of the level and the dinner break, he folded.

Teltscher announced his fold and held his cards, asking Holz if he would want to show the last hand before the dinner break. Holz said he wouldn't show, but Teltscher did persuade him to see just one card, and Holz let him pick. Teltscher picked the before the pot was pushed Holz's way.
