Soyza Runs Into Holz's "Higher Quality Hand"
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action folded to Michael Soyza on the button, who raised all in for 155,000. Fedor Holz in the small blind made the call, and the big blind quickly folded to leave the players heads up. Before the cards were turned over, Soyza said "I have a high quality hand".
Michael Soyza: 10♥9♥ 
Fedor Holz: K♥K♣
Once seeing Holz's hand, he laughed and said "That's a higher quality hand" and then mentioned "It can crack kings though". However, the 3♣6♥2♠ flop left Soyza with only backdoor draws to crack the kings of Holz. But the K♠ on the turn left Soyza drawing dead, and the 5♠ on the turn officially gave Holz the pot with his set of kings, eliminating Soyza.
