Good Game, Gaelle

Gaelle Baumann was very short on the bubble and survived an all-in. She still had work to do and was in need of another double up. She tried but got into a dominated situation and was eliminated.

She three-bet all-in from the small blind with {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} after Vasili Firsau had opened from the hijack. Firsau called with {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and the board ran a safe, for him, {5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Two More Down

Adrian Schaap was busy busting with ace-ten to an opponent's ace-king as Jan Petersen was busting in similar fashion one table along.

He open shoved with {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and was called by the ever increasing Andrew Pantling holding {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. The board ran {5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs} to add more to the Canadian's stack.
