Fedor Holz the First to Go
Déjà vu.
We wrote that same headline on Day 1 early on in Level 2. Holz opted to reenter, and his second bullet seemed to go well as he bagged a big stack. Surprisingly, Holz became the first player to bust today.
It happened when Phil Ivey raised to 13,000 from the hijack and Holz called from the button. David Peters came along from the big blind and three players saw a flop of 
. Two checks saw Holz bet 16,000, Peters called, and Ivey got out of the way.
After the dealer burned and turned the 
, Peters checked and Holz bet again, this time 28,000. Peters woke up with a check-raise to 80,000 and Holz thought long and hard before making the call.
Peters then shoved all in for 240,000 on the 
river and Holz, who barely had him covered, hit the tank for more than two minutes before making the call. Peters rolled over the 
for the flopped straight, which bested the 
of Holz, who was left with just 17,000 after the hand.
In the very next hand, Holz moved all in from the cutoff and Sam Greenwood called from the big blind.
Greenwood: 
Holz: 
The board ran out 
to give Greenwood two pair, and just like that Holz was the first to hit the rail.
