Back-to-Back: Fedor ‘CrownUpGuy’ Holz Wins Triton SHR Cali Cup

"It seems like there’s really nothing stopping Fedor Holz these days. Just two weeks after Holz won the WPT Alpha8 event at Bellagio, the German poker pro conquered another tough high roller field, winning the $200,000 buy-in Triton Super High Roller at Solaire Resort in the Philippines."

Isn't he one of Pleno's stablemates?

Interesting to see Triton Showers sponsoring poker tournaments after their stint as shirt sponsors for Birmingham City in the early nineties.

He's so impressive in every single way. One of the very top players in the world imo. But he was this before he won 2 50runner comps...

Yeah he's undoubtedly the best tournament player in the world right now, he also won 6 figures in the highest, toughest cash games in the world online last year sitting and playing HU/3 handed vs the sickest of the sick.

Played with him at an EPT a couple of years ago.   Really nice guy, was chatting to everyone about all kinds of subjects.

What happens when you get a big score at these things, do they transfer it to your bank?

I'd be scared shitless if I had even $20k let alone $200k in the Philippines  ;snoopy'sguns;

Hes just able to make incredibly accurate estimates of opponents hand ranges better than anyone else can. Right? .... Probably wrong :p

I assume bank transfer is available.  They offer you that at GUKPT and WSOP.
