: 200/400, 50 ante
Fabian Quoss was enjoying a massage in the cash game area and that meant he was no longer in the Main Event. Quoss did not recall the betting amounts but he explained to us how he was knocked out.
Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin raised preflop after which Michael Friedrich, RichieRichZH on PokerStars and winner of the second biggest Sunday Million in history, three-bet. Quoss four-bet from the button and Ramdin folded after which Friedriech put the German pro all in for 26,000. Quoss called with 
and lost the coinflip against 
.
Quoss will be hanging out in Monte Carlo some more as he's also playing the €25,000 High Roller and almost certainly also the €100,000 Super High Roller.
