Matt Stout Defeats Scott Baumstein

Matt Stout Has Advanced to the Next Round
Matt Stout Has Advanced to the Next Round

With the board reading {6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and facing a 0-1 hole in his match against Matt Stout, Scott Baumstein needed to make a move, and boy did he ever.

Baumstein held the {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and bet out for 1,250, only to see Stout respond with a raise to 3,400. After a lengthy tank to assess the spot he had put himself in, Baumstein decided to make his stand and he shoved all in. Stout snapped him off with the {9-}{5-} for a turned two pair, and when the board brought a brick on the river, he advanced to the Round of 32 to compete against either Joe Tracy or Shankar Pillai.
