Baumstein Doubles Twice to Start the Day
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Scott Baumstein started the day as the short stack with only 65,000 and on the first hand, he was under-the-gun and opted to fold.
His second hand he was pot committed as the big blind and was all-in holding 
against Uke Dauti's dominating 
. The board fell 
, however, and Baumstein paired his kicker to double up.
On the third hand, he put in his last chips (100,000) from the small blind and Ryan D'Angelo called from the big. Baumstein's 
was looking good against D'Angelo's 
and the runout of 
was good for Baumstein, who doubled again to 230,000 (8 big blinds).
