Finding the Baumswitch

Scott Baumstein open shoved from early position for about 120,000 and quickly was called by a middle position player. He was in a world of hurt.

Baumstein: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Baumstein began the traditional prayer to the poker gods, he got out of his seat, ready to go and immediately his prayers were answered when the board came {J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} to double him up.

Running Like Todd

Kaverman Fades and Moves to 800k

Ryan D'Angelo opened to 13,500 preflop and was called by two players; one of which was Byron Kaverman .

D'Angelo fired out a continuation-bet of 21,000 and was called by Kaverman before the button moved all in for 138,000. D'Angelo folded, but Kaverman made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Kaverman: {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

With Kaverman needing to fade plenty of outs with any diamond, ten or six giving his opponent the pot, the {8-Spades} on the turn further increased his outs by five. Fortunately for Kaverman, the river landed the {Q-Hearts} to see him eliminate his opponent while soaring to 800,000 in chips.

Willerton Doubles Opponent

A player made it 15,000 from late position and Neil Willerson three-bet from the cutoff to 40,000. The action folded back around and the original raiser four-bet all in. Willerson shook his head, obviously not happy with the situation that he had gotten himself into.

"Call", said Willerson, tabling {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

His opponent flipped up {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and we were off to the races. The flop fell {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Willerson hung his head. He did not seem to enjoy making the call preflop and most certainly wasn't happy post flop. The {4-Spades} turned and the river also bricked out for him, coming {9-Spades}. Willerson shipped 145,000 away from his stack and sat staring at the table, dejected.

Chouit As

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Nicolas Chouity is on a little tear at the moment, he just raised the cutoff to 13,000 and then called the button's all in push for 59,500.

Chouity showed {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} against {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and then proceeded to invoke the ancient art of "getting there" when the board came {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Lack of (To)bias

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Tobias Peters is out after he called a four bet all in with {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} but wasn't able to spike against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} when the board came {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. There's around seven tables remaining of bracelet hopefuls.
