Johannes Schulze raised to 275,000 from the cutoff, having everyone behind including PokerStars Team Pro Marcin Horecki in the small blind easily covered. Fabian Fleischmann was in the big blind and had stalled the last ten hands. That reduced his stack to a mere 10,000 in total and if he would have folded, he'd be forced all in from the small blind the next hand.
He called with the words "I guess you gotta experience everything once, even the bubble boy atmosphere" and the table waited until everyone was done with their current hand. Once that was the case, the cards were tabled.
Fabian Fleischmann: 
Johannes Schulze: 
The board ran out 
and Fleischmann briefly sat back down after the river before realising that he was indeed the bubble boy.

Vladimir Zaplava: 
The board ran out
