Green Doubles Through Baumer Twice

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
The first of Stephen Green's Two Doubles Versus Don Baumer
The first of Stephen Green's Two Doubles Versus Don Baumer

Stephen Green shoved his last 78,000 and Don Baumer called.

Green had {q-}{j-} and Baumer had {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Green flopped two pair and stayed ahead to double through the chipleader.

Shortly after that, Green got all in again against Baumer with {a-}{q-}. Baumer had {5-}{5-}, but a queen hit the turn and Green doubled again.

Green is staying alive and trying to outlast Joshua Turner who is playing one of the side events.

Green is in contention for the HPO St. Louis Series Leaderboard and has a shot to win an HPO Championship Event seat in Las Vegas at the M Resort.

If Green wins the Main Event he will win the seat and the second place guy on the leaderboard will get the seat. So there is a way for both him and Turner to get seats to the event.
