Fischer Makes Holtz Fold
Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
On a board of 
, Seth Fischer and Michael Holtz were heads-up battling for the already large pot of 350,000.
Both players, however, decided to each check the turn.
But on the 
river, Fischer checked to Holtz, who then began to stare his opponent down.
After several long moments of this, Holtz asked "has he acted yet?" and when the dealer replied that yes Fischer had checked, Holtz then apologized and put out a bet of 175,000.
Fischer then took a moment to think, then check-raised Holtz to 800,000.
This caught Holtz by surprise , as he quickly mucked his cards with a quite confused look on his face.
Fischer then raked in the pot to boost his stack to 2,200,000.
