Baumstein Doubles Up

Scott Baumstein has just doubled up right after the bubble had burst so at least he will not be coming back for Day 3 as micro-stack.

Zachary Korik had opened from under the gun and Andreas Puhl flatted on the button, The small blind got out of the way but Baumstein decided to move all in for 62,000 in total. Korik wasn't prepared to pay this and he folded but Puhl tanked for 90 seconds or so before making the call.

Baumstein: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Puhl: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The American was nicely ahead but as we saw in David Vamplew's exit on the bubble holding an overpair does not make you invincible in this game. Thankfully, for Baumstein, the larger of the two pairs held this time around because by the river the five community cards read {3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts}.
