It's no surprise to see the most aggressive player at the table with a commanding chip lead. Right now, and for the last three levels, that's been Shaun Deeb.
We pick up another one of Deeb's pots as Scott Baumstein opened to 3,000. Two seats over, Andrew Chen three-bet to 7,500, and the action wasn't done yet. Shaun Deeb promptly four-bet to 17,100 total, enough to fold Baumstein. Chen, however, began counting out another raise, and he made it 35,000 total. Deeb's response to that was an all-in six-bet, and that finally got the job done. Chen folded, and Deeb is now up over 200,000.
William Pilossoph raised to 2,500 from the cutoff and both Shaun Deeb and Michael Binger called from the blinds. When the flop came down , the blinds checked and Pilossoph bet 4,200. Deeb folded and Binger made the call.
Both players checked the turn and the was put out on the river. Binger checked, Pilossoph bet 6,000, and Binger called. Pilossoph flipped for a rivered set and Binger mucked. Pilossoph is up to 55,100.
Four players saw a flop of and both blinds checked to Chen, who bet 5,500. Scott Baumstein was the only player to call after having checked in the small blind. Both players then checked the turn and saw the river put a full house on the board.
Baumstein quickly fired out 18,000 and Chen shrugged as he made the call and showed for queens full of jacks. Baumstein was likely bluffing as he simply mucked. With that, Chen is up to 138,000 while Baumstein dropped to 135,000.
Andrew Chen raised to 2,900 to open the pot, and Michael Binger three-bet shoved for just less than 40,000. When it came back to Chen, a big grin crossed his face, and he made a quip about the bounty equity up for grabs. After a minute of thought, he made the call to put Binger at risk.
Showdown
Chen:
Binger:
"Good game, guys," Binger said, trying to employ a bit of reverse cooler powers to his benefit. It worked. The board ran out , and Binger has doubled up to about 80,000.
Scott Baumstein raised to 2,500 from the cutoff only to have William Pilossoph raise to 7,800. Baumstein called and the flop came down . Baumstein checked, Pilossoph bet 10,200, Baumstein moved all in, and action was back on Pilossoph. He had the shorter stack so a call would be for his tournament life. The raise proved to be too much and Pilossoph folded.
Scott Baumstein raised to 2,400, and Andrew Chen called to see a flop.
It came suited , and Baumstein continued out with a bet of 2,900. Chen called, and Baumstein checked to him on the turn. Taking his cue, Chen fired 6,400 at the pot, and Baumstein quickly called. That led them to the river , and Chen bet another 13,000. Baumstein toyed with the decision for a bit before splashing the call into the pot.
"Queen-jack," Chen announced, and Baumstein nodded his surrender. Chen tabled his to win the pot, and he's moved himself up to 137,000.
Marko Neumann limped in from the small blind, then called a raise when big blind Scott Baumstein made it 2,800 to see a flop.
The dealer fanned out , and Neumann check-called a bet of 3,100. He check-called another 6,800 on the turn, and the double-paired the board on the river. When Neumann checked again, Baumstein fired out 25,000 chips into a pot of 26,000. Neumann gave it a good long look before calling, and we'd never get to see what he called with. Baumstein tabled for the full house, and that was the winner.
With that pot, Baumstein has taken the chip lead with 172,000.
