Quoss Cracks Shak's Aces

Level 22 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Fabian Quoss
Fabian Quoss

Dan Shak woke up with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} on the button, and raised to 300,000. Fabian Quoss moved all in for 1.51 million from the small blind with {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, and Vanessa Selbst looked down at {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and asked for a count. The dealer confirmed the count from EPT Live's telecast, and Selbst went into the tank. She eventually folded, and Shak snap-called.

"Classic," Quoss sighed. "Queen-nine-three all diamonds."

Quoss' prediction fell flat, but the {7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop gave Quoss a pair of jacks.

"Queen of something?" Quoss asked.

The turn was indeed a "queen of something" - the {q-Hearts} - and Quoss now had an open-ended straight draw. The {9-Clubs} spiked on the river, giving Quoss said straight, and he cracked Shak's aces to double to over three million chips.

Shak left the stage to return to the restroom, and the crew decided to take a 15-minute break.

More For Selbst

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Vanessa Selbst held {j-Spades}{8-Spades} on the button and popped it up to 200,000. Dan Shak folded his small blind and Fabian Quoss looked down at {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} in the big blind. He called the raise and the two saw {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} hit the felt.

Quoss checked over to the raiser and she checked it right back. The {Q-Spades} touched down on the turn and Quoss tapped the table for a second time. Selbst pushed forward a bet of 225,000 and Quoss let it go.

Selbst Gets Value from Flopped Set

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

As the three briefly discussed a chop - well, Dan Shak and Fabian Quoss discussed while Vanessa Selbst denied - Quoss raised to 200,000 on the button with {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. Selbst three-bet to 475,000 out of the small blind with {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Quoss called, and the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}, giving Selbst a set of threes.

Selbst led out for 385,000, Quoss called, and the turn brought the {j-Clubs}. Selbst led out again - this time sliding out a monster stack of 740,000 - and Quoss reached for T100,000 chips. He added a few green T25,000 chips and blue T5,000 chips, and made the call.

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board, locking up the hand for Selbst as long as she didn’t fold, and Selbst moved all in for effectively 1.8 million or so.

"Pretty quick all in," Quoss said after tanking for a minute or so.

The German took a sip of water, then a sip of Coke, and finally mucked his hand.

Shak's Potty Break

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Dan Shak raised to 225,000 on the button holding {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, Fabian Quoss three-bet to 600,000 out of the small blind with {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}, and Shak, who said he needed to goto the bathroom after the hand, four-bet to 1.6 million.

“I thought you would fold because you needed to goto the bathroom,” Quoss joked. “Now I object.”

The German folded, and Shak sprinted off of the set to use the toilet.
