Luo Squeezes, Quoss Survives All-in
It’s getting to do or die time for some of the 65 remaining high rollers as the blinds continue their inexorable rise. This means it is push or fold poker for some of the shorter stacks.
So far that’s working out for Xixiang Luo, who has just won a decent pot without showdown. Pre-flop it was Zdravko Duvnjak who opened the action with a raise to 5,200 from middle position with the UKs’ Danny Tang re-raising to 16,600 from the button before Luo squeezed all-in for 86,600.
Duvnjak folded immediately before Luo’s stack was even counted down and while Tang looked sorely tempted but he too eventually let it go.
Another player who has just survived a recent all-in is Germany’s Fabian Quoss, who is lucky to still be in the running after the following hand played out.
Pre-flop it was Ryan Yum who was the initial raiser, making it 5,500 to go from middle position with the field’s sole remaining PokerStars Pro Felipe Ramos making the call from the button before Quoss moved in for his last 42,000 from the small blind.
Action folded back around to Yum, who re-shoved to isolate and after Ramos got out of the way the cards were turned over.

Quoss was the at risk player with a dominated hand and it was not looking good for the German, until the board ran out 
for an anti-climatic chop. Three players who were not so lucky were Keisuke Hikosaka, Lee Hon Cheong and Lim Chin Wei who are all now no longer in the running.
