"Around 35,000," Ensan replied and Gruissem four-bet to 11,000. Both de Meulder and Sinclair quickly folded, but Ensan moved all in.
Gruissem snap-called and said "not a good timing" to see Ensan drawing very thin and in need of help.
Hossein Ensan: 
Philipp Gruissem: 
It was all over after the turn of a board 
and Ensan left the table with a "see you later guys."

Level 3
: 200/400, 400 ante

The flop was

With Gruissem in the one seat and Loeser in the eight there was little chance for either player to get a good look at their opponent.
The turn was the
