Day 1a of the 2015 partypoker World Poker Tour Vienna Main Event wasn’t the busiest, but indeed was the strongest one. After eight levels of play, there were just 39 players left from the 67 that entered. Leading the charge was German high roller Fedor Holz with over six times the stack he started with.

Every table had at least four players with a six-figure and the level of play was high.

Alexander Lakhov previously found wins on the WPT main tour and the WPT National tour, but he was the first to bust in Vienna. He lost a huge hand where he got it in with two pair against Holz’s combo draw. Lakhov was eliminated not much later. He didn’t reenter, but still has the chance to do so on Day 1b.

Another player who might be seen giving it a second go on Day 1b could beWorld Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Simeon Naydenov after he was rather unlucky on Day 1a. He lost a bunch of small pots, only to commit his last chips with pocket eights, running into David Abramov’s pocket aces. Naydenov was already up from the table before the entire board was out, but it didn’t matter much as no help came for the Bulgarian.

Back to Holz, though, as he proved to be the story of the day. His tangling withMarko Busic was especially interesting. We’re not entirely familiar the tone of some of Busic’s remarks, but he seemed to be making fun of Holz on more than one occasion.

Holz didn’t reply, but instead let his chips do the talking. And boy did they. One might say his chips shouted, as Holz destroyed his opponent all day long.
