Watson Doubles Through Holz

Level 23 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Mike Watson shoved from the small blind for 1,870,000. Fedor Holz in the big blind tanked for a bit before calling.

Fedor Holz: {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Mike Watson: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Holz flopped a flush draw on {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, but wouldn't improve to a flush or pair: {5-Spades} on the turn, {5-Clubs} on the river.

"Oh shit, I would have won" Kanit said. "You had the five?" Finger asked. "No an eight" Kanit replied. In the meantime Holz was parting ways with a large chunk of his stack.

Full House for Holz

Level 23 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Fedor Holz limped in from the small blind, and Martin Finger checked his option in the big blind. The dealer spread the {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, and Holz bet 175,000. Finger raised to 375,000, and Holz called.

After the {4-Clubs} hit the turn, both players checked. They also checked the {K-Clubs} river card. Holz tabled the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for a full house, and Finger mucked his hand.

Big One for Finger

Level 22 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

From under the gun, Fedor Holz raised to 275,000. Martin Finger called on the button, and everyone else folded before the dealer spread the {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop. Holz continued with a bet of 325,000, and Finger called.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, and Holz bet 775,000. Again, Finger called, this time to see the {5-Spades} complete the board. Holz opted to check, and then Finger moved all in. With about 2 million left, Holz went into the tank. Eventually after getting the clock called on him, Holz folded, and Finger won the pot.

Finger showed the {9-Diamonds} from his hand.
