Olivier Busquet opened to 5,000 preflop from the hijack and was called by Johannes Strassmann and Lo Shing Fung in the cutoff and button respectively. Haralabos Voulgaris made it 17,000 in the small blind, Busquet folded but Strassmann and Fung both called.
The flop was and Voulgaris bet 25,000. Strassmann called and Fung folded.
On the turn, Voulgaris contemplated his options for a moment before moving all in for 115,000. Strassmann tanked for several minutes before eventually mucking his hand, Voulgaris left slightly bemused by what Strassmann could be tanking so long with.
Fabian Quoss tends to do well in high roller events, which was evidenced by his win in the $100,000 Super High Roller at the 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. If the German has his way, he'll be adding another Super High Roller title to his résumé.
In a recent hand, there was a board reading when Quoss bet 37,000 only to have Elton Tsang raise to 100,050. Quoss thought for a few moments before moving all in, and Tsang, who hand the short stack, called off for right around 200,000.
Quoss:
Tsang:
Both players had turned a flush, but of course the ace-high one of Quoss was best. Tsang, who was drawing dead, watched as the was put out on the river and then took his leave from the tournament at the tail end of Level 4.

As reported earlier Vanessa Selbst is on her second bullet, and the table change at least seemed to be to her liking in a recent hand.
Selbst had bet the turn of a board reading and Alec Torelli had made the call. When the river came the Selbst fired out another bet for 19,000. Torelli thought for a bit but he threw out the call anyway.
Selbst tabled the and Torelli’s inferior hand slid the way of the dealer.

Dan “Jungleman” Cates was explaining to Daniel Colman how he had tried to buy bitcoins but had only got as far as some strange page on his computer before giving up, but he was still excited by the idea. “If you’re a true gambler, if you’re playing poker with bitcoins, I mean you’re gambling while you’re gambling.” he reasoned animatedly. That got a chuckle out of Colman and a few minutes later they fell quiet as they got involved in a hand with each other.
Cates opened on the button for 5,000 and Colman three-bet him from the small blind to 17,000. The big blind folded and Cates made the call.
The flop was and a bet of 14,000 from Colman saw a call from Cates. The turn card was the and when Colman checked a bet of 43,000 from Cates got a fold.
“I’m on fire son.” Jungleman said and Colman did give a, “Good bet.”
Martin Finger opened to 5,000 preflop and Philip Gruissem made it 16,000 in the small blind. Finger made the call to see a flop. Gruissem bet 16,000 and Finger made the call.
The turn was the and Gruissem bet 26,000 but again Finger called. The river was the and both players checked.
"I rivered a seven..." said Gruissem slowly, turning over . Finger couldn't beat this and mucked his hand.
Isaac Haxton opened for 6,000 under the gun. Ole Schemion in the hijack made the call, before Antonio Esfandiai squeezed to 22,000 from the button.
Both blinds folded, but Haxton seemed interested. He glared at Esfandiari's stack, and than four-bet to 52,000. Schemion quickly folded and action was on Esfandiari. Esfandiari, who had 122,200 to start the hand, shoved allin. Haxton called.
Antonio Esfandiari:
Isaac Haxton:
The flop hit Esfandiari and he was on the verge of doubling up: . The on the turn wasn't of any threat, but the on the river was. Esfandiari's top pair wasn't worth anything anymore, Haxton grabbed all the chips in the pot.
