Fedor Holz is a well-known name in high-stakes\npoker circles. The young German seemingly came out of nowhere and conquered the\npoker world, amassing millions in tournament winnings over just a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, Holz suddenly dropped a bombshell in\n2016, announcing he was ready to retire from professional poker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After absolutely crushing it for several years\nin a row and posting results that were borderline unreal, young Holz announced\nhe’d had enough. The life on the grind just wasn’t doing it for him anymore,\nand he was ready for new challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many in the community were quite skeptical\nabout it, though. Born in 1993, Fedor was just at the start of his career and\nwas clearly super-talented and passionate. Nobody believed that he\u2019d really\ngive up poker for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sure enough, they were right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t long before Holz was back on the\ngrind, continuing where he left off. Today, his live tournament earnings stand at\n$32.5 million and will likely continue to climb in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what happened to Fedor Holz? How did he come\nto be one of the most successful poker players of all time, and what led him even\nto entertain the idea of quitting poker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
