Baumstein Busto
Scott Baumstein's tournament has come to an abrupt end and he will have to wait until the Grand Final if he is to win an EPT this season.
William Thorson raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and Baumstein moved all in for a total of 82,000 from the small blind. He must have known he was not in very good shape when Bahadir Kilickeser called in the big blind and Thorson made the call too!
Kilickeser checked the arrival of the 
flop and Thorson follow suit and checked behind. The turn saw some aggression though because when Kilickeser checked Thorson bet 63,000. The bet was made up of blue, then red then purple chips and they leant to the left almost like the famous tower in Pisa. They were soon cut down though because Kilickeser asked for a count. He wasn't prepared to pay 63,000 and he folded.
"Am I drawing dead?" asked Baumstein to which Thorson simply shook his head and turned over 
. "I have three outs" declared Baumstein and revealed his 
.
Those three outs failed to materialise as the river was the 
and Thorson won the pot.
