[user20283]

Nível 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

"He bluffed it all on the turn," Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu just said when we asked what happened to Philipp Gruissem.

We did not catch the action of this hand, but the board read when Gruissem's was tossed into the muck. Yong's was still face up on the table and the pot was pushed to him.

"Where do I rebuy?" Gruissem asked the tournament staff and the German went on his way to buy back in.

About 10 minutes later Gruissem returned and he drew the exact same seat as when he busted.

On the turn the hit and Chen checked again. This time Schemion fired out 18,500 and Chen called once more.

The river brought the and just like on the previous streets Chen decided to check. Schemion grabbed a big chunk of chips and put his opponent all in.

Chen called immediately for 69,500 total and Schemion mucked his cards. Because it was an all-in showdown the dealer turned over Schemion's and as the German expected that wasn't good enough to beat Chen's .
