Michael Holtz snapped off an all in bet preflop of about 200,000 and found himself in a great spot.
At-risk Player: 
Michael Holtz: 
His opponent had gotten frisky with the suited-connector and Holtz was way out in front with pocket kings.
The 
runout was clean and Holtz is now sitting on piles.
Holtz raised it up the next hand and gave a little advice to the table while he stacked his newly found chips.
"You know there's a saying," said Holtz. "You never call a man who's counting chips."
Holtz ended up folding the flop, but he is definitely one of the chip leaders in the room.
