Currently, Holz occupies the first position in the Global Poker Index Ranking, with all-time winnings amounting to $18,495,174.
The above-mentioned tournament is to kick off on August 14th in the largest poker room on the territory of Europe, which is currently located in the Czech Republic. The Celebrity Cash Kings is aimed especially at high rollers.
The cash game festival is to take place for three days until August 17th and will feature not only several land-based cash game tables, but also a table that is to be streamed online. The latter was announced as a No-Limit Hold’em table with €50/€100 blinds, but the organizers of the poker event have said that a change to pot-limit Omaha is possible. They also left the possibility for the blinds to be increased upon players’ consent.
The owner of King’s Casino Leon Tsoukernik said that this year’s line-up would be great with a large number of player who would be participating in the tournament in Rozvadov. He also said he was particularly glad to see the return of Fedor Holz to the place where he had literally started from.
