You can lose a batlle ot two as long as you win the war
Jacob Baumgartner told PN that his day was going really well until Jose Guevara sat down to his left at this second table. It was at this point he started bleeding chips and a lot of them to Guevara. He may have lost some of those battles but Baumgartner has won the last two and mostly importantly the war.
The real damage was done when Baumgartner made a “hero call” on a 
board. Baumgartner had raised pre-flop and was only called by Guevara before both checked the flop. Baumgartner then checked called an 8,000 bet on the turn and a 30,000 bet on the river with 
. His opponent could only muster 
.
The final nail in the coffin saw Baumgartner raise to 6,000 from UTG with and call Guevara’s 30,000 shove with 
. Baumgartner binked a six, eliminated his foe and is up to 240,000.
