Hao Extends Lead As Blinds Rise
There have been no significant pots since the huge one that played out between Holz and Hao earlier, with most hands taken down pre-flop, though there has been a flop played, with Hao taking it down to further his lead.
Holz was the pre-flop aggressor, making it 27,000 to go from the small blind after Predrag Lekovic folded the button and now flush with chips Hao made the call from the big blind.
Both players checked the 
flop and after Holz checked the 
turn Hao reached for chips and led out for 75,000, which was enough to get the German to give it up.
The table played small ball for a while before the level went up with Lekovic limping the button and both Holz and Hao seemingly content to keep it friendly in the blinds.
Both blinds checked it over to Lekovic on the 
flop and the Montenegrin decided to take a stab for 20,000. While this was enough to get Holz to give it up Hao was going nowhere and check-raised to 42,000 in total.
Lekovic thought it over and tossed in the extras and the dealer peeled off the 
turn. This saw Hao reach for chips once more, and he fired out a hefty 82,000, which was enough to get Lekovic to give it up and that was the last hand of the level.
