Gaëlle Baumann Hanging Strong Despite Losing With Pocket Rockets
Even when tight with the bubble looming, one hand just about any player isn't afraid to play is pocket rockets. Team Winamax pro Gaëlle Baumann just found herself in this position and raised the action after an opener limped. The limper came along and and check calls a bet from Baumann of 12,000 on the 
flop. Baumann's opponent check calls again - this time for 17,500 - when the 
hits the turn.
Baumann slowed down on the river and the action went check-check after the 
completing the board adding numerous straight possibilities with any 
or 
and making it far more likely her opponent also could have had two-pair.
Baumann, who was holding 
made the correct read in just checking back after he opponent turned over 
for the straight. Baumann, however, won a few pots earlier in the day and her stack remains strong with the bubble about to break with 200,000 chips.
