Top Two Not Good Enough for Holz
Level 19
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Fedor Holz opened the action with a raise to 250,000 from middle position, which was called by the big blind Aleksejs Ponakovs.
After the flop came K♠Q♠2♣ Ponakovs check-raised the bet of 175,000 from Holz to 450,000. Holz made the call to see a turn.
The turn was 9♣ and Ponakovs check-called a bet of 575,000 from Holz.
After the 9♦ on the river, Ponakovs checked to Holz, who bet 1,200,000, leaving just 25,000 chips behind. Ponakovs made the call. Holz turned over K♣Q♥ for two pair, kings and queens, but Ponakovs tabled J♦10♥ for a turned straight to leave Holz with crumbs.
A few hands later Holz was officially eliminated.
