While we haven't caught all the action at the feature table, which is being live streamed, it appears some chips have been flying. One man who doesn't have as much as he used to is Steven Silverman, who just played a pot against Sandor Demjan.
In the hand, Silverman opened for 9,000 under the gun and action folded to Demjan in the big blind. The elder businessman announced a reraise to 35,000, Silverman called and then both players proceeded to check all three streets as the board ran out 
. Demjan showed the 
for nut no pair, and it was good as Silverman mucked.
Fabian Quoss has been on the move, and he's now built his stack to over 600,000 in chips thanks to a couple of recent pots. The first one was against Dani Stern, and the second one was against Ole Schemion.
On the first hand, Philip Sternheimer opened from early position to 8,000, and Quoss made the call from the cutoff seat. Stern was in the small blind and reraised to 34,000 when action folded to him. Sternheimer folded, but Quoss came along to see the flop.
The flop was 
, and Stern bet 36,000. Quoss called to see the fall on the turn. Stern checked, and Quoss fired 65,000 into the pot. Stern folded, and Quoss won the pot.
On the next hand, Quoss opened with a raise from the hijack seat to 10,000. Ole Schemion reraised from the cutoff seat to 25,500, then action folded back to Quoss. He reraised and made it 65,000 to go. Schemion folded, and Quoss won the pot.
We're not sure how it happened, but Philipp Gruissem was just eliminated from the future table. The young German wandered the tournament area a bit and made it known he had plans to re-enter.
Erik Seidel bet 10,000 under the gun and silenced the music on his phone. Daniel Alaei in the cut off had a think about the situation. He’d surely seen three bets get through Seidel’s opens before. He went for it, raising to 26,000. The blinds folded and it was back to Seidel. “Eighty five behind” was Alaei’s response to the inevitable question. For a few minutes Seidel thought about it, rubbed his lips and eventually folded. The music went back on and he continued to nod along.
The next hand though Seidel was back in action. Jean-Noel Thorel opened from early position for 10,500, Frederik Jensen called from the button and Seidel raised to 24,000 from the big blind. Thorel wanted to see a flop and called. He saw 
and apparantley didn’t like what he saw as Seidel bet out for 31,000 and won the pot.
On the 
flop, Max Lehmanski checked to Vitaly Lunkin, and he fired a bet of 28,000. Lehmanski made the call to see the land on the turn. Lehmanski checked, and Lunkin bet 52,000. Lehmanski folded, and Lunkin won the pot.
As you can see, Paul Newey has opted to re-enter.
It’s easy to think that all poker players look the same – more so in Super High Roller events. But at least one player in the field today stands out, as the PokerStars Blog reports.
