Fedor Holz and Ben Tollerene have been going to war lately, seated right next to each other in the tournament and playing two recent hands against one another. Unfortunately for Tollerene, these hands didn't go his way with Holz winning both of the pots.
On the first hand, we picked up the action on the 
flop. Tollerene checked, and Holz bet 77,000. Tollerene thought for a bit, then made the call.
The turn card was the 
, and Tollerene checked again. This time, Holz's wager was priced at 166,000, but it didn't scare Tollerene away. He took his time, then called, and the 
landed on the river. Tollerene checked, and Holz also checked after a little bit of thought.
Tollerene showed the 
for a pair of sevens, but his hand was no good against Holz's 
and the young German scooped the pot.
On the next hand, action folded to Tollerene in the small blind. He put in a raise, and Holz called from the big blind to see the flop come down 
. Tollerene bet 60,000, Holz called, and the turn was the 
.
Tollerene slowed down with a check on fourth street, and Holz pounced with a bet of 118,000. Tollerene called, and the 
completed the board. Tollerene checked, having a stack of 436,000 behind. Holz thought for a minute or so and then stuck out a tall stack of cherry-colored T25,000 chips to put Tollerene all in. Now it was Tollerene's turn to think, and think he did.
Tollerene thought for several long minutes, but in the end he couldn't find a call and passed with a fold. Holz won the pot and moved up to 1.75 million in chips.
