We missed the pre-flop action as we were writing up the previous Richard Yong double-up but we arrived in time to see a huge hand develop between the tournament’s two largest stacks – Fedor Holz and Su Hao.
We picked up the action on the turn and there was over 160,000 in blinds and antes in the pot by the time we arrived with the community cards spread 
.
Hao had checked the action over to Holx, who mulled over his options for several minutes before deciding to bet 82,000, leaving himself 330,000 behind.
It was Hao’s turn to tank and he took nearly as long as Holz did before sliding out the call, leaving himself around 340,000 behind.
The 
river could probably be considered a blank, and after thinking it over for a few seconds Hao checked the action over to Holz once again and the German player hit the think tank once more. After around 20 seconds or so Holz slid out two towers of yellow 5k chips for a bet of 180,000 in total, leaving himself 170,000 behind.
Hao did not think long before folding, leaving Holz to scoop a massive pot without showdown and pull further out in front and the German climbed to over 700,000 in chips while Hao dropped to 340,000 putting himself third in chips behind Gabe Patgorski who currently has 420,000.
