Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Fabian Quoss raised to 200,000 from the button while holding the {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Vanessa Selbst peered down at the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} from the small blind and cut out a three-bet to 475,000. Dan Shak folded his big blind and action folded back to Quoss.

Quoss announced an all in bet and Selbst quickly let go of her cards. Quoss dragged in the pot and has now chipped up to 2.755 million.

Quoss Over 3M

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Dan Shak completed from the small blind with {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Fabian Quoss checked his option in the big blind with {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and the flop came {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {j-Spades}, giving Quoss the lead with a pair of jacks, and Shak reached for chips. He cooly tossed out a single Moon Dust T100,000 chip, and Quoss flipped in one chip to call.

The {6-Hearts} completed the board, Shak flicked forward another 250,000, and Quoss tilted his head in confusion. The German took a sip of water, let out a long sigh, reached for chips, and called.

Quoss raked in the pot, and now has over three million chips.

“I thought I was value-betting,” Shak said.

Quoss was about to respond, then bit his tongue.

Shak's Potty Break

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Dan Shak raised to 225,000 on the button holding {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, Fabian Quoss three-bet to 600,000 out of the small blind with {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}, and Shak, who said he needed to goto the bathroom after the hand, four-bet to 1.6 million.

“I thought you would fold because you needed to goto the bathroom,” Quoss joked. “Now I object.”

The German folded, and Shak sprinted off of the set to use the toilet.

Selbst Gets Value from Flopped Set

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Vanessa Selbst

As the three briefly discussed a chop - well, Dan Shak and Fabian Quoss discussed while Vanessa Selbst denied - Quoss raised to 200,000 on the button with {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. Selbst three-bet to 475,000 out of the small blind with {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Quoss called, and the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}, giving Selbst a set of threes.

Selbst led out for 385,000, Quoss called, and the turn brought the {j-Clubs}. Selbst led out again - this time sliding out a monster stack of 740,000 - and Quoss reached for T100,000 chips. He added a few green T25,000 chips and blue T5,000 chips, and made the call.

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board, locking up the hand for Selbst as long as she didn’t fold, and Selbst moved all in for effectively 1.8 million or so.

"Pretty quick all in," Quoss said after tanking for a minute or so.

The German took a sip of water, then a sip of Coke, and finally mucked his hand.
