On a flop of 
, Steffen Sontheimer checked out of the big blind and Fedor Holz bet 20,000 from early position. Sontheimer check-raised to 68,000 and Holz moved all in for 175,000, which Sontheimer called.
Fedor Holz: 
Steffen Sontheimer: 
Running tens, kings, nines or a combination of them was needed to avoid a big setback for Sontheimer, but it was all over after a blank 
turn, making the 
river meaningless. Sontheimer was left with just two big blinds, which he then doubled with 
against the 
of Holz two hands later.
