Fedor Holz Looking for His Second One Drop Title
There will be at least 58 players returning for Day 2 of Event #10: �111,111 High Roller for One Drop No-Limit Hold'em when the action resumes inside the Poker Arena at King's Casino. None other than Fedor Holz will be one of those players in search of his second One Drop title.
Holz was expected to make an appearance for the high-roller event and appearance he made. Holz fired three bullets on the opening day and wound up bagging an above-average stack of 4,015,000. Over the past few years, Holz has mostly been focused on his business lifestyle and has even gone as far as saying he has retired from poker. However, when these prestige, large buy-in events arise, Holz always seems to find his seat at the felt. So far in 2017, Holz has scored eight 6-figure cashes and one 7-figure cash of $2,100,086 last month at the Triton Super High Roller series.
He will be chasing Charlie Carrel who bagged the chip lead after Day 1 with an even 10,000,000 chips. Carrel is closely followed by poker legend, Gus Hansen, who will be returning with 9,935,000 chips. Late registration will still be available for two more levels today which could see some players return after an unsuccessful first day. Phil Hellmuth, Ryan Riess, and Benjamin Pollak are a few that could be seen at the registration desk.
The action will resume at level 11 with the blinds at 40,000/80,000 and a 10,000 ante. The goal will be to play until a final table of eight is reached, but plans could change based on the amount of time needed. For those choosing to register today, they will begin with 2,000,000 chips and blind levels will continue to be 60-minutes in length. The prizepool and payouts will be calculated once registration closes.
The live-stream will continue for the One Drop High Roller event after the first break of the day, with tables rotating in and out every two hours. The PokerNews live reporting team will be on the tournament floor to bring you all of the coverage from the outer tables throughout the day, beginning at 2:00 P.M. local time.
