Early life and first steps in poker
Holz was born in Saarbrücken, in western Germany. [3] He studied mathematics and, like many players of his generation, found poker at university through home games with friends. He later described feeling pressure from his family to “get a job” and live his life in a solid way, before poker took over. [13]
He made his name online under the screen name “CrownUpGuy”. [1] When he won his first bracelet in 2016, WSOP.com listed his residence as Vienna, Austria. [3]
Breakthrough: the 2014 WCOOP Main Event
Holz first came to wide attention in September 2014, when he won the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) $5,200 Main Event. The tournament had a $10 million guarantee and drew 2,142 players for a prize pool of $10,710,000. With six players left the finalists agreed a deal in which Holz, the chip leader, locked up $1.1 million, and he then won the title, reported as a $1.3 million score. [4]
At his first World Series of Poker in 2015 he finished third in the $10,000 Six-Handed Championship and 25th in the Main Event. [1] In November 2015 he began working with mental game coach Elliot Roe, a change he later described as a turning point. [10] In December 2015 he won the WPT $100,000 Alpha8 Las Vegas, outlasting 44 other entrants for $1,589,219, with Daniel Negreanu finishing third. [5]
खेल शैली
Holz is known above all as a नो-लिमिट होल्डम tournament specialist in the highest buy-in events. After his One Drop win, PokerNews wrote that he “might be widely considered one of the best, if not the very best, no-limit hold’em tournament players on the planet”, while noting that good fortune had also played a role in his results. [7] Holz himself credits the strength of the high roller fields: “From playing with them, they teach you. If you do not play well, they eat you alive.” [3]

The 2016 run
Between January and August 2016 Holz won or finished near the top of several of the most expensive tournaments in the world. PokerNews puts his live tournament cashes for the year at $16,093,401, after $3,492,364 in 2015. [10] In January he won the $200,000 Triton Super High Roller Series event in the Philippines for $3,072,748. [10] In the $300,000 Super High Roller Bowl in Las Vegas he reached an all-German heads-up match against Rainer Kempe and finished second from a 49-player field for $3,500,000. [6]
In July he won his first WSOP bracelet in Event #67, the $111,111 High Roller for One Drop at the Rio in Las Vegas. The event drew 183 entrants and a prize pool of $19,316,565; Holz, then 22, beat Dan Smith heads-up and collected $4,981,775. [3] In August, after saying he would step back from full-time play, he won the EPT Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller from 102 entries for €1,300,300, beating Sam Greenwood heads-up. [9] David Peters overtook him at the end of the year to win the 2016 GPI Player of the Year title. [10]
