I've been watching the shows on ESPN, and they are always fun to watch. They did a profile on the young German player (Holz) and he talked about how his strength is reading his opponents, yet he misread 3 straight hands (at least that they showed) that ended up taking a huge chunk of his chips.
He raised two players with J-8 from the button, then bet the 10-3-3 flop after one of his opponents flopped a full house. Then he bet even larger on the turn, and his opponent once again check-called. Holz hit a Jack on the river to give him a top pair, but he just checked it. 
Then he did the same thing later with J-10. He raised preflop, then bet 120k after the J-5-7 flop, only to be re-raised to 400k. He called. Then after a 3 on the turn, he check-called a 350k bet, then checked the river and lost to a K-J.
Then he had A-2 on the button and called Negreanu's (10-8) pre-flop raise. The flop came 10-4-2. Holz check-called a 90k bet. After the K on the river, he check-called Negreanu's 210k bet. After another K on the river, it went check-check.
Then he lost two-thirds of his stack when he played an 8-7 against an A-K and kept betting after an A-J-8 flop, Q turn and 9 river. He shoved all-in after the river and got called.
Obviously the guy is a good player, but he misread his opponent clearly on the first 3 hands and then underestimated his opponent on the 4th hand.
