Mohsin Charania
Mohsin Charania

Mohsin Charania opened to 24,000 from under the gun, and Philipp Gruissem and Timothy Adams called. The flop fell {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and Adams checked to Charania who continued for 33,000. Gruissem raised to 90,000, Adams cold-called, and Charania tanked for a bit before raising to 233,000.

Both players folded, and Charania raked in the pot.

A "Freakin' Outstanding" Turn

Theo Jorgensen
Theo Jorgensen

Theo Jorgensen raised to 28,000 from under the gun, Matt Salsberg called out of the small blind, and Philipp Gruissem defended his big blind.

The dealer fanned {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and the action checked to Jorgensen who fired 50,000. Only Gruissem called.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Gruissem checked again. Jorgensen slid out 125,000, and Gruissem called.

The {8-Spades} completed the board, and Gruissem checked a third time. Jorgensen emptied the chamber, firing a third bullet worth 275,000, and Gruissem made a quick call.

Jorgensen tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a set of tens, and Gruissem screwed up his face before mucking.

"Nice hand," Salsberg offered.

"Nice turn," Jorgensen responded. "The turn was freakin' outstanding."

Quoss Binks a Jack, Doubles

Fabian Quoss doubles
Fabian Quoss doubles

Fabian Quoss open-shoved for his last 189,000, and the action folded to Matt Salsberg in the small blind. He called, and Philipp Gruissem surrendered his big blind.

Showdown
Quoss | {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Salsberg | {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

"Ladies have been good to me," Salsberg announced.

The flop was not good to Salsberg however - {2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

"F***!" he blurted.

The turn and river came {a-Clubs}, {k-Spades} respectively, and Quoss doubled.

"Sorry guys," Salsberg said to the table.

"Don't be sorry," Theo Jorgensen piped up. "It's all his fault."

Quoss grinned.

"Yeah," Mohsin Charania added. "He's the reason we're not going to have dinner."

Bluff-Shove

Theo Jorgensen opened to 35,000 from the cutoff, Fabian Quoss called on the button and Timothy Adams three-bet to 93,00 from the big blind. Jorgensen quickly folded, but Quoss did not. Rather, he moved all in, forcing Adams to fold.

Quoss grinned, then flashed the {4-Diamonds}.

Nose-Bleed Bluff

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Adams battles a nosebleed
Adams battles a nosebleed

Timothy Adams opened to 35,000 from the cutoff, Matt Salsberg called in the small blind, and the flop fell {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Salsberg check-called 35,000 from Adams, and the turn brought the {7-Hearts}. Both players checked.

The river was the {q-Hearts}, and Salsberg led out for 45,000. Adams went into the tank, and suddenly somebody yelled for a napkin.

"Quickly!" Fabian Quoss yelled.

At first it looked like someone spilled a drink, but upon further investigation, Adams was suffering from a nosebleed. Jérome Douieb handed him a napkin to help slow it down, but there was already blood on Adam's face and fingers.

Finally, Adams raised to 125,000, and Salsberg immediately folded. The entire table was shocked to see that Adams was bluffing - he tabled {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

"That is the best move I've ever seen," Theo Jorgensen exclaimed.

The nose-bleed bluff worked.

Jérome Douieb Eliminated in 7th Place (€62,575)

Jérome Douieb - 7th Place
Jérome Douieb - 7th Place

Fabian Quoss opened to 35,000 from under the gun, Jérome Douieb moved all in for 281,000 on his direct left, and the action folded to Matt Salsberg, who called on the button. The action folded back to Quoss, who folded as well, and the hands were opened.

Showdown
Douieb: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Salsberg: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop gave Douieb a diamond draw, but the turn and river bricked {5-Clubs}, {4-Spades} respectively.

Douieb is out in seventh place, and we now have an official final table.
