Jorn Walthaus raised on the button and Ana Marquez defended her big blind.
The flop came down 
and Marquez checked to Walthaus who bet 700. Marquez called, the 
landed on the turn and both players checked. The 
river completed the board and Marquez bet 1,600, which Walthaus quickly called.
Marquez tabled 
for sevens full of sixes, but it was second best to Walthaus' 
for sevens full of aces.

"You know who the unluckiest guy in the room is?" Matt Vengrin just asked us as we strolled through the orange section in the amazon room.
"That guy," Vengrin said after we left a blank, pointing at the guy to the immediate right of German super star Philipp Gruissem.
Gruissem's list of results in poker tournaments are off the chart, as he's cashed for more than $1.4 million in every year since 2011. Gruissem recently won the EPT Monte Carlo High Roller for $1.3 million to put himself near to top performer of 2014 as well.
One of Gruissem's first big tournament results came in the summer of 2011 when he finished 28th in the World Series of Poker Main Event. Today Gruissem's looking to start his Main Event off right, but for now he's down a little bit from the 30,000 starting stack.

We watched three hands in a row that didn’t work out too well for Chris Moorman, who started with 21,600.
In the first hand, Moorman raised to 500 and the player to his left three-bet him and goaded, “Put it in.” Moorman did and they checked it all the way on the final 
board. Moorman got shown 
and mucked.
The next hand saw Moorman opened from first position for 500 again, and get called by the player on the button this time. The flop was 
and when Moorman bet 500 the button player took one earphone out and called. Moorman went on to check-fold the turn to a 1,500 bet.
The third hand got a bit more expensive for Moorman. He was in the big blind and called a raise to 600 to see a four-way flop of 
. The original raiser continued for 1,700 and Moorman was the only caller.
The turn was the and Moorman elected to check-call a further 3,500 to see the complete the board. Moorman checked and faced a bet of 5,200. He turned a few chips over in his palm glumly for a few seconds before releasing his hand.
