Double for Holz

RazorSharpPro

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Both players have been extremely patient and as the shorter stack Holz had started limping the button and seemingly eager to engineer a spot where he can take advantage of this Hao has been letting this trend continue and it appears to have been working out as he had whittled Holz down to his last 400,000 or so in chips following the break.

However, just as things were looking dicey for Fedor Holz the German has managed to earn a double up. Down to his last 400,000 Holz shoved on Su Hao twice to climb back up to 540,000 before the two players got all the chips in.

It was Hao who was the initial aggressor, making it 60,000 to go from the button with Holz making the call.

Hao led the flop for a minimum bet of 30,000 and Holz moved all-in for 445,000 in total, sending Hao deep into the tank. Eventually he decideded that the chance to finish things was too good to pass up on and he slid in the call and the cards were turned over.

Fedor Holz:
Su Hao:

While Holz had top pair he was the at risk player and the watching crowd gathered around to see whether it would be boom or bust for the German. It was boom, with the turn keeping Holz in the lead, with the river completing the hand and doubling him up to 900,000.
