Money Talk
After busting two bullets in the first event for a total loss of $100,000 (plus the rake on the second bullet), Holz says he doesn��t feel much about losing the money. According to Holz, it��s an important skill to be able to distance yourself from the money as a high-stakes tournament player. He also explains that he sells off a lot of his action in bigger events so he is always playing for an amount he is completely comfortable with.
Feeling fresh after a good night��s sleep, Holz is just focused on playing better than he played yesterday and he says, ��Today��s the day.��
"Today's the Day"
After a long day of poker that saw Holz build his stack from the starting 125,000 up to 1,138,000 for the second-biggest stack heading into the final table of seven on Friday, it seemed Holz was right. He reflected on the day��s events.
��I played focused, I played well. I feel good.��
His plan for the evening? ��Quickly to bed, rest, breakfast, back to it, win it.��
Before heading up to his room, Holz bumped into Phil Hellmuth, who was wondering about what Holz had in the hand at the final table where Hellmuth folded ace-king on the river to Holz, but Holz tells him he can��t say. Hellmuth hypothesizes, ��Good bluff�� and tells Holz he looks forward to the battle tomorrow. Holz ��can��t wait�� to see what Hellmuth brings.
Looking forward to the final table in Event #2, Holz says, ��I��m glad I��m in a good rhythm now and I��m ready for tomorrow.��
With $125,000 locked up, Holz eyes the top prize of $900,000, hoping to join Nick Schulman at the top of the Poker Master Leaderboard on the final day of the second event.
