Baumann Leading the Ladies

Gaelle Baumann
Gaelle Baumann

When we walked by Table 95 here in the Pavilion, we saw that Gaelle Baumann was holding onto a monster stack. We also saw her in a hand where the flop was {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}. She called her opponents all in of about 13,000, and showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for top pair. She was miles ahead of her opponent, who showed a stone cold bluff of {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The turn sealed things, coming the {k-Hearts}, and the river was the {9-Clubs}.

After she finished stacking her chips, we estimated that she's sitting on about 280,000, which leads the way for the women left in the field. Baumann is fresh off a 15th place showing in this year's ladies event, and she looks to be continuing that momentum through to today!
