Hand #11: Baumann Doubles!

Gaelle Baumann

It folded all of the way around to Steven Gee on the button who raised to 700,000. Greg Merson paused about 20 seconds, then reraised to 1.8 million from the small blind. Gaelle Baumann then moved all in for 1.78 million from the big blind, and Gee quickly folded.

Merson turned over {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Baumann showed she had woken up with… {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}!

The flop came {J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and the raucous crowed reacted to the sight of the jack. The turn then brought the {10-Diamonds} and another "ohhhhh!!!" "Deuce! Deuce!" cried the crowd. Finally Timmy the dealer burned a card and delivered the river… the {2-Diamonds}! As called for! Baumann survived!
