Ole Schemion Eliminated in 7th Place ($277,080); Tony Gregg Eliminated in 6th Place ($347,720)

Tony Gregg - 6th Place
Tony Gregg - 6th Place

Ole Schemion was under the gun and moved all in for his last 260,000. Tony Gregg re-shipped over the top for 390,000 and Fabian Quoss called from the button. Quoss had both players covered heading to the community cards.

Quoss: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Gregg: {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Schemion: {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Quoss' pocket tens stayed out in the lead. The {2-Diamonds} hit fourth street and gave Quoss a full house of deuces full of tens, leaving Schemion searching for a king on the river and Gregg looking for an ace or the case deuce. The river was the {9-Spades} resulting in a double elimination.

As Schemion began the hand with fewer chips, he becomes the seventh place finisher and Gregg will collect sixth-place prize money.

Dan Shak raised to 175,000 on the button holding {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Fabian Quoss defended his big blind with {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, and the flop fell {3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs}, giving the German flush and straight draws.

Quoss checked, Shak continued for 225,000, and Quoss called. Quoss then led out for 500,000 when the {10-Spades} turned, and Shak reached for green T25,000 chips. He thought for a minute or so, then called.

The {a-Spades} completed the board, missing Quoss’ draws once again, and both players checked. Shak tabled his hand triumphantly, raking in the pot, and Quoss gave a small chuckle.
