Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Theo Rebour is having a day to remember and is the first player to have a stack over 300,000. He added a few more chips to his ever growing collection after he opened to 3,000 from middle position. The big blind called and then check-folded after Rebour bet 2,500 on the flop.

Baumann Busts Main Event

Calum Grant

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Action was caught on the turn with 30,000 in the middle and the board reading .

Jeremy Rodriguez bet 15,000 and Baumann thought over her options before calling, leaving her just 15,000 behind.

The river prompted Rodriguez to put Baumann at risk. The Winamax Team Pro called off for her tournament life but saw the bad news when Rodriguez rolled over his for a full house. Baumann exposed her before leaving the table.
