Holz Flops the World in Five-Bet Pot, But Doesn't Win

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Fedor Holz

Doug Polk raised to 9,500 from the button, and Mustapha Kanit three-bet to 25,500 from the small blind. Fedor Holz, who made quite the comeback earlier today, cold four-bet to 65,000. Polk quickly folded, but Kanit bumped up the action one more time by making it 101,000. Holz called in position, and the two of them saw a flop in an already huge pot.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and Kanit bet out 58,000 with around 120,000 behind. Holz shoved all in and Kanit made the call.

Kanit: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Holz: {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came about as good as they could come for Holz who hit a pair, flush draw, and backdoor straight draw. For Holz, Kanit had about the best hand in this spot possible: two overs and a gut shot.

The {8-Spades} on the turn was of no real influence, and you could see the tension grow on both of their faces.

The {Q-Clubs} on the river was anything but a blank and Kanit secured his double up. A composed Holz cut out 180,500 to sent to his neighbor while Kanit fist pumped towards one of the railers, but didn't cheer too loud.

"Make sure you mention that I started this all," said Doug Polk.

"Make sure you mention that he mentioned wanting it mentioned," laughed Olivier Busquet.

Busquet and Polk got into a fun little raising war concerning the mentions, but we'll just leave it at that.
