Dramatic Chop For Baumann and Strelitz

Erik Hellman opened to 125,000 from early position and Robert Salaburu three-bet to 280,000. Daniel Strelitz opted to four-bet to 540,000 from the button and it was around to Gaelle Baumann in the big blind. Baumann made it 1,000,000 to go, causing both Hellman and Salaburu to muck their hands.

Strelitz moved all in and Baumann called for her tournament life.

Baumann: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Strelitz: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

These two players had the same hand, but Streltiz picked up outs on the {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop. The {J-Hearts} came on the turn and the rail let out a collective gasp. Baumann would need to dodge a heart in order to stay alive in this tournament. Fortunately for Baumann, the river was the {6-Clubs} and the pot was chopped up.
