Lemke Clubs His way Back

Fabian Quoss raised to 280,000 and Brian Lemke re-raised all in. When Quoss called, the hands were shown.

Quoss: {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Lemke: {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

When the flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, Lemke picked up a club draw which hit on the turn and the river with the {2-Clubs} and {3-Clubs}.

Lemke doubled up to more than 4 million, drawing him almost even with Quoss.

Two in a Row

After Lemke called Quoss' preflop raise of 280,000, we saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Lemke checked and then folded to Quoss' 350,000 bet.

Power Play

After Lemke called Quoss' preflop raise of 280,000, we saw a flop of {5-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Lemke checked, Quoss bet 350,000 and Lemke re-raised all in, forcing a fold.

Fabian Quoss Eliminated in 2nd Place ($427,912)

After Brian Lemke limped from the button, Fabian Quoss raised to 360,000. Lemke then re-raised all in and Quoss made the call.

Lemke: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Quoss: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

When the flop came {9-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts} both players caught an open-ended straight draw which Lemke completed with the {Q-Clubs} on the turn. The {J-Diamonds} on the river was a mere formality as Lemke claimed the title, champion's bracelet, and a first-place prize worth $692,658. Congratulations to Fabian Quoss who was prominent throughout the entire final table to ultimately finish in 2nd place for a collect of $427,912.
