Congratulations to Eric Holtz from Merrick, NY who finished 3rd in our DeepStack Championship Event Event #54 $1,100 NLH (8Max) $250K GTD winning $31,137.

Holtz raised to 325,000 from the button and was called by Volodymyr Tamakovych and Milos Skrbic in the blinds.

Tamakovych had out-flopped Holtz making trip threes, and would double up, after the board ran out the 9♥ and 8♦.

Holtz was left with 540,000.

In the following hand Skrbic raised to 300,000 from the button. Holtz moved all in for 540,000. Skrbic called.
