Quoss Given His Marcin Orders

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Homegrown high roller, Fabian Quoss, has busted after taking a long time to call with pocket queens on the turn of a low board.

Marcin Wydrowski was the player to put him to the test on the turn of the {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} board. Quoss called and was shown pocket aces by the Pole, who survived the {7-Hearts} river.

Timex Gets Aces for a Fifth Time; Drops Back Down to Starting Stack

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

According to his Twitter account, Mike "Timex" McDonald has been dealt aces five times today. We caught the fifth hand, and after unsuccessfully firing three bullets, the Canadian dipped back down to the starting stack.

He and three others took a flop of {2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Franz Ditz checked, McDonald fired 1,225, and the action folded back to Ditz, who called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, Ditz checked again, and McDonald bet another 2,625. Ditz called.

The {7-Spades} completed the board, and Ditz checked a third time. McDonald reached for chips, announced "Fifty-six twenty-five," and Ditz called the 5,625-chip bet.

McDonald showed {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for a pair of aces, but Ditz had that beat with {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a turned flush.

"Nice flop," McDonald told him.

Kings Cracked

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

"COME ON!!!" Jason Wheeler yelled in the center of the tournament area.

We walked over to the table to see {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} laying face up in front of Glen Cymbaluk, and the board looked something like {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-}{x-}{j-}.

Wheeler's hand was in the muck, and according to Roland Bachmann, Wheeler had kings.

Evidently, Cymbaluk called an all in from Wheeler on the flop. The turn was a brick, but the river was one of the two jacks in the deck that could eliminate Wheeler.

He hit the rail, while Cymbaluk, who finished ninth in the EPT9 Deauville Main Event, now has around 70,000 chips.

Jacks For Kuo

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The flop read {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{A-Spades} when Jannick Wrang and Kitty Kuo clashed on the felt. Wrang came out with guns blazing by betting 1,125 and Kuo instantly raised the action to 3,200. Wrang called.

The turn brought the {J-Spades} and Wrang checked.

"How much you playing? Eighty?" asked Kuo.

Wrang confirmed what she said before she decided to check the action as well. The {9-Spades} finished the board and it quickly went check-check once more.

Kuo tabled {K-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a pair of jacks and Wrang tossed his hand to the muck. Kuo picked up the pot and is now sitting on about 53,000.
