Holz Takes a Big Hit, Shakerchi Chips Up

Level 2 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Fedor Holz, who entered 45 minutes late, was seated directly to Phil Ivey's right and he just came into the pot with a raise to 7,500 under the gun plus one. Ivey made the call and so did both blinds, Dan Smith and Talal Shakerchi.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and the blinds checked to Holz who paused for 30 seconds before betting 16,500.

Ivey quickly folded, and so did Smith, before Shakerchi check-raised to 47,500.

Holz made the call and on the turn the {K-Diamonds} hit. Shakerchi put together a bigger bet, and fired out 103,000 into Holz, who didn't hesitate much before calling.

The board completed on the river with the {7-Clubs} and Shakerchi quickly bet another 157,500. The clock ticked down to Holz's final 20 seconds, before he asked how the time bank cards work. Scott Seiver quickly explained that a time bank chip would be taken from him when the clock reached 1:00, and Holz opted to fold before he had to do so.
