Hand #118: Holley raised to 180,000 on the button, scooping the blinds and antes without a contest.
Hand #119: Ott held the button this hand, and he used his position to make a raise of 300,000, which forced the blinds to muck
Hand #120: After his big bet on the last hand, Holley and Lind folded to Ott in the big blind, giving him a walk.
Hand #121: Holley opened to 180,000 on the button, and Ott three-bet to 600,000 even. Lind went deep into the tank, going into his best Hollywood routine while staring both of his opponents down. Rather than call or reraise, however, Lind mysteriously got out of the way, and after a few moments of careful deliberation, Holley did the same.
Hand #122: Ott limped in from the button, Lind mucked his small blind, and Holley checked his option to see a flop of 
. Both players checked it down, and the 
came on the turn. Holley checked the paint card, and called Ott's bet of 250,000, bringing the 
on the river to complete the board. The two tapped the table once more, and Ott opened up 
saying "two pair," but Holley's 
had him beat.
Hand #123: Lind again raised an exorbitant amount, opening for 330,000 on the button. Holley responded by calmly pushing a single stack forward and announcing himself all in for his last 2.5 million. Faced with a huge bet, and a chance to eliminate another player while taking full control of the table, Lind when deep into the tank once again. He slowly sized up Holley's stack in relation to his own, counting out stacks of green chips equal to 500,000 until he had divided his chip castle into separate wings. After more than three minutes of staring and stacking, Lind finally took a last look at his cards before tossing them into the muck.
