Holz Bust Out Sets Up Last Two Tables
Su Hao is no longer in the running and departed midway through the level and Fedor Holz will not be adding anymore trophies until his haul this week either, busting at the hands of fellow countryman Dominik Nitsche in what turned out to be an interesting hand.
Pre-flop it was Nitsche who was the aggressor, opening the action with a raise from the cutoff with Holz making the call from the button. We picked up the action on the river but Salman Behbehani was kind enough to fill us in on the details and according to him Holz check-called Nitsche’s continuation bet on a flop before seizing the initiative on the the turn and leading for 60,000 when Nitsche checked.
Nitsche made the call and the river completed the hand. This is where it got interesting and is where we picked up the action with Nitsche leading out for 130,000 only to see Holz move all in for 327,000 in total.
Nitsche tanked long and hard before making the call and Holz rolled over . While this was no good it was not because Nitsche had an ace, but rather had rivered a set holding . Holz headed for the rail while Nitsche stacked up to over 1 million and play was briefly paused as the third table broke and the players were split between the two remaining tables.
