. Bowdy Tolhopf checked from the big blind and Fabian Quoss bet 14,000 from middle position. Tolhopf took his time before check-raising to 45,000, and Quoss responded by moving all in for 115,000. Tolhopf, who didn't have too much more than that, snap-called.
Tolhopf: 
Quoss: 
Both players had flopped sets, but unfortunately for Quoss his was second best. Neither the 
turn nor 
river delivered him the quads he needed, and Quoss wish the table good luck before taking his leave short of the money.
