Philbort Looking to Repeat and Reclaim Top Spot on German Money List
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Last year, Philipp Gruissem topped a 214-entry field to win the 2014 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €25,000 High Roller for €993,963. At the time it moved him atop the German all-time money list, though he currently sits second a little less than a million behind Tobias Reinkemeier.
The man known as "Philbort" is in action today looking to defend his title, and if all goes according to plan, recapturing the top spot on the German leaderboard. There's still a long way to go, but Gruissem's chances just improved thanks to a double through Steven Zhou.
We missed the action, but we know that Gruissem doubled holding the on a 
against Zhou, who had a straight with

Vogelsang Misreads, Busts Duthie
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
We found Christoph Vogelsang tanking in the big blind, having made it 8,000 to go and been shoved on by John Duthie in the small blind. The European Poker Tour founder had about 40,000, and Vogelsang thought things over for awhile before Duthie called the clock. He apologized but said he thought it was warranted. About midway through the countdown, Vogelsang called.
Duthie: 
Vogelsang: 
Duthie was ahead, but it was Vogelsang taking the pot as 
left the dealer's hand.
"Good call," Duthie said.
Vogelsang smiled and apologized for the beat.
"No, no it's alright," Duthie said. "S*** happens."
Vogelsang said he thought Duthie had a small pair due to the speed of the shove.
