Now he is over 1-million and reclaims the chip lead from Lloyd Ney.
The series of hands went like this.
Hand #1: Paul Fehlig and Baumer were heads up and Baumer had placed a 100,000 bet on the turn. The board read and Fehlig called.
Baumer bet another 100,000 when the hit the river and Fehlig called. Baumer showed for a flush and won the pot of more than 500,000.
Hand #2: The very next hand, Baumer was on the button and two players limped before he acted. He set out a stack of chips and called all in, which got the table to quickly fold.
Hand #3: About two minutes after that, Baumer eliminated Fehlig with against the of Fehlig. The two shook hands and Fehlig hit the rail
