Fabian Quoss opened to 80,000 from the hijack, Cosmin Nica three-bet shoved for about 600,000 and Quoss called with a covering stack to put Nica at risk.
Cosmin Nica: K♣10♣ 
Fabian Quoss: J♦J♥
Quoss remained ahead with his pocket jacks on the Q♠7♣3♠2♣3♦ runout to send Nica to the rail and take a decent early pot.
